Brandon Woodruff Activated By Brewers, Set To Face Reds Today

so with Rom being sent down, why wasn't he the one that pitched multiple innings in yesterday's blowout win, instead of Patrick?

I don't think they were expecting Gasser to go 6 based on his first four innings.  It was unexpected that Gasser would go through the 5th on 9 pitches and the 6th on 7 pitches, and I think they wanted to make sure that they didn't let ATL back in it in the 5th or 6th when Patrick started warming up by putting in Rom and risking having to use one or more of their better relievers in the 7th-9th if Rom blew up.

Once Patrick was warm, they just went with him and wanted to make sure they only used one reliever this game.  Saves the other 7 for the next two days.
