Brewers to start Dustin May and Padres going with Nick Pivetta in Game 3 of NL Division Series

Both clubs chose right-handers for Game 3, with Dustin May carrying a 1.23 ERA in three starts against San Diego and Nick Pivetta returning from an elbow issue.

  • The Milwaukee Brewers tabbed Dustin May to start Game 3 of the NLDS on Tuesday at San Diego, where he will face right-hander Nick Pivetta and the Padres.
  • May struggled after his trade from the St. Louis Cardinals, posting a 5.65 ERA over 10 starts with Milwaukee despite excelling against San Diego earlier this year.
  • In three starts against the Padres this season, May allowed only 3 earned runs over 22 innings while striking out 22 batters, demonstrating his effectiveness against this opponent.
  • "He's pitched fantastic against the Padres," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said, though he noted May will likely be on a short leash during Game 3.
  • Pivetta, who spent much of the season on the injured list with a right elbow injury, carries a 2.86 ERA into the matchup against May.
