## Brandon Pfaadt’s Seven-Strikeout Inning Leads D-backs to Victory *** ### Pfaadt Dominates, Ties Club Record
On Wednesday night, Arizona Diamondbacks' starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt delivered a remarkable performance, striking out seven consecutive Milwaukee Brewers batters in the third inning. This impressive feat tied the franchise record for consecutive strikeouts in a single inning, a mark previously set by four other pitchers.
Pfaadt's dominant display began with a called strike three against Andrew McCutchen. He then proceeded to strike out Willy Adames, Keston Hiura, Hunter Renfroe, Luis Urías, Mike Brosseau, and Christian Yelich in succession, all via swinging strikes. Pfaadt's command and precision were on full display as he threw 11 of his 16 pitches for strikes during the inning.
The 23-year-old's outstanding performance was a major contributing factor in the Diamondbacks' 7-4 victory over the Brewers. Pfaadt's seven strikeouts in the third inning helped set the tone for the game and gave the Diamondbacks a significant advantage. Pfaadt's outing ended after four innings, having allowed only one run on three hits while striking out eight batters.
### Pfaadt's Rise to the OccasionBrandon Pfaadt's impressive outing against the Brewers is a testament to his rapid development as a pitcher. The right-hander, who was acquired by the Diamondbacks in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2022, has emerged as a reliable starter for Arizona.
In 17 starts this season, Pfaadt holds a 4.35 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 86 innings pitched. His ability to miss bats and command the strike zone has been a key factor in his success. Pfaadt's performance against the Brewers is a further indication of his potential as a top-tier starting pitcher.
### Diamondbacks Secure Important VictoryThe Diamondbacks' 7-4 victory over the Brewers was crucial in their pursuit of a playoff berth. The win snapped a two-game losing streak and moved Arizona to within 3.5 games of the final National League Wild Card spot.
Arizona's offense was led by Ketel Marte, who went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. Jake McCarthy and Sergio Alcántara also contributed with two hits apiece as the Diamondbacks offense put together a solid performance against Milwaukee's pitching staff.
The Diamondbacks will look to continue their winning ways when they host the Colorado Rockies for a four-game series starting on Thursday. Pfaadt's impressive outing has provided a boost to the team's confidence, and they will need to maintain their momentum if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
