Brewers' Jimmy Nelson fans 11 in sparkling outing

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers over eight innings and matched a career-high with 11 strikeouts on Friday, but he was handed a no-decision.

What It Means:

Milwaukee's bullpen blew a late lead, costing Nelson a much-deserved win as he went toe-to-toe with Clayton Kershaw.

This was Nelson's second straight stellar outing. Over his last two starts, he's allowed 1 earned run across 15 innings while fanning 21 without issuing a walk. Dude is locked in.
