Despite their 9-1 loss to the Astros Wednesday afternoon, the Brewers have largely been able to overcome injuries, especially to their starting pitchers.

Chad Patrick, who picked up the win Tuesday night, is one of the big reasons why.

Patrick has been in other organizations (Arizona and Oakland), but the Brewers do it differently, especially when it comes to pitching.

”I think there's a come comfortability level here,” said Patrick. “They’ve created a good name for pitching and the coaching staff has been awesome."

Patrick is a native of Indiana. He made the Brewers opening day roster after initially being told he was being sent to Triple A Nashville. Patrick won the Triple A pitchers’ triple crown in 2024, leading the way in wins, strikeouts and earned run average. With Brandon Woodruff nearing a return, just don’t expect Patrick to be a self-promoter about staying in the rotation.

"Just doing my job, doing my part,” said Patrick. “Trying to help us win and stay in ballgames.”

Patrick is 26. Originally a fourth round pick by Arizona in 2021. He says Brewers pitching coach Chris Hook has been instrumental in his work this season.

"Me and Hookie, we’ve got a good relationship going on right now,” said Patrick. “He’s an awesome dude. Funny. I like I like to goof around. He likes to goof around, too. So, just having that player player-coach relationship has been good."

After his win Tuesday night, when he gave up four hits and three runs over six and two-third innings, Patrick’s ERA is a sterling 3.08.
