Then they got key starter Brandon Woodruff in their rotation Tuesday, giving them an additional boost. Woodruff had been sidelined for a month by a circulatory problem in his pitching hand, a problem that arose while he was recovering from an ankle injury. He returned to active duty Tuesday with a 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. “He looked amazing,’’ Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen said. “He didn’t miss a beat. He looked just as strong as he did when he went on the IL. He was fast and efficient, doing what he does best.” Woodruff struck out 10 batters and walked nobody in five innings as the Brewers won for the eighth time in 11 games. He breezed through his 76-pitch outing. “He pitched wonderfully,’’ Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “The fastball was very, very good -- overpowering for most of the game. It was fun to watch. The no walks was certainly impressive, for sure. But he had a great fastball. There’s a reason why hitters talk about his fastball. We saw it tonight.” His return proved to be far smoother than Jack Flaherty’s attempted comeback from shoulder issues for the Cardinals. Woodruff took his time with the rehab process. “You never want to miss time, but when I came to start throwing again, I knew that every pitch counts,” he said. “It’s the old cliche, ‘Take it one pitch at a time.’ [/QUOTE]
