Elder (2-4) earned the win over the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.1 innings.
Elder did much better in this outing than he did in a July 20 spot start versus the Cardinals, in which he allowed six runs over five innings. The right-hander has been inconsistent at the major-league level, allowing six or more runs in three of his nine starts this season. He has a 5.67 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB through 46 innings. The chances of Elder getting another start during this stint in the majors will likely depend on if Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) is able to pitch versus the Marlins this weekend.
