MILWAUKEE – The way Craig Counsell managed the Brewers' 6-1 win over defensemen D on Friday, it was obvious that wins mattered more than history at the moment. And Jordan Lyles thought it was the right call.

Counsell lifted Lyles to the mark of 99 shots despite the fact that the right-hander did not have a batter in attack and a six-point lead after six innings in a sold-out Miller Park. The non-bet was eliminated by rookie rookie Devin Williams with two outs in seventh, but Milwaukee took a win that brought them closer to a half-match from the top of the National League.

The Cardinals have recovered the first place against the Cubs, who are half behind. The Brewers have 3 1/2 games behind the Cardinals and three behind Chicago for second place in the Wild Card NL.

• The score of the box

Meanwhile, Juan Nieves' place in the tradition of Brewers brewers is assured. His 7-0 win at Baltimore on April 15, 1987 remains the only striker in the club's history.

"It would have been different if he had gone through seven [innings]"Said Lyles, who walked twice to Arizona's first baseman, Christian Walker." My bike was not there. I think I had 90-92 [mph] the whole game. I saw a couple of 89 the last inning. It worked, but 100 shots after six innings. If we are optimistic and say 10 shots per set is 130. I have never seen that.

"If it was the seventh, it would have been different. I would have pushed that after the seventh.

Lyles has already been in this situation. Last May, he was perfect for 7-1 innings for the Padres against the Rockies, before Colorado's Trevor Story distinguished himself with one out of eight. But that game, said Lyles, had a completely different feeling. Friday's day was much more difficult as Lyles and receiver Yasmani Grandal leaned on his curved ball when it became clear that the right-hander did not have his best fastball.

"We had a comfortable lead. He was not going to finish the game, "Counsell said. "When he came out after the sixth game, we thought we'd let him go for one more round, but I read that he was tired. He did a great job. He launched a hell of a match. He was awesome and made us a great day. "

Mike Moustakas and Ryan Braun scored the RBI in a first round of three innings, while Eric Thames and Keston Hiura got a 6-0 lead when Lyles scored one point in the fifth inning. The right-handed had just passed a height of 21 laps on the fifth, which pushed his number of shots to 82 and probably wiped out his hopes of finishing himself without a hitter. After Lyles sailed for 1-2-3 on 17 courts, Counsell chose to finish the match with his pen.

Williams, 16 days without his Major League debut, was suddenly pushed to conquer history. He got the first two outs of the seventh Walker and threw one in a shallow center field that left the bat at 63.9 mph.

"Oh man, it was hard," Williams said. "Just flip your cap. He hit it just right. I thought I had hit my place, but hey, a shot is a hit. I was aware, but I did not really think about [the no-hitter]. After hitting that, I thought, "Ahh, dangit."

Williams, Jay Jackson and Jeremy Jeffress took a win that did not require most of Milwaukee's "A" substitutes, including well-rested Josh Hader, who has not started since Saturday.

"If we had arrived at the ninth [with a no-hitter]Counsell said, "Josh was going to be involved. "

No hitter or not, that was another promising exit for Lyles, who has made his season since an exchange on July 29 with Milwaukee. He was 1-6 with a silver medal of 9.57 in his last nine starts for the Pirates before the deal, but he is 3-1 with a silver medal of 3.22. in five starts in a Brewers uniform at a time when his new team, with the star of the star, Brandon Woodruff and Jhoulys Chacin, on the list of injured, have needed him the most.

Friday's jewel opposed a traditionally difficult enemy. Lyles went into the night 2-7 with an average of 7.23% on 10 career losses, including a loss on April 24th at Pittsburgh's PNC Park, which is the only loss to Lyles in her first nine starts this year. season for the Pirates.

"It was at the top of the box and then the ball fell," said Torey Lovullo, the coach of the D-backs. "He stabbed fastballs on both sides of the plate.I thought they had a good game plan.But we beat good game plans.We are able to do that.It is at how much I believe in our guys. "

The Brewers believe in Lyles, who should be well rested for his next scheduled start against the Cardinals to close the current home.

"It's like a second season for me, being here in Milwaukee," said Lyles. "A quality outing after a quality outing, that's what I'm looking for."
