Corey Knebel earns save as Brewers split doubleheader with Cardinals

Milwaukee Brewers closer Corey Knebel earned his ninth save of the season Tuesday as the Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-5 to split a day-night doubleheader at Busch Stadium.

What It Means:

Knebel continues to be lights out in the ninth and while he gave up a two-out single to Tommy Pham, he closed to door Tuesday night to help the Brewers split the doubleheader. Knebel already has six saves in the month of June.

Knebel owns a 1.11 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 32 1/3 innings this season. Our models expect him to regress some down the second half of the season, projecting him for a 3.13 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 40 1/3 innings remaining this season.
