Imanaga was sharp Thursday, holding Milwaukee to just two runs on a Brice Turang homer in the second inning.

Imanaga has turned in four straight quality starts, allowing just seven runs across 27 innings in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 3.03 with a 0.94 WHIP and 90:21 K:BB across 19 starts (110 innings) this season.
