Brewers' Carlos Torres: Lowers ERA in May outings

Torres has a 1.98 ERA for the month of May after pitching 13.2 innings across 12 games.

Analysis:

Torres has become one of the Brewers' heaviest-used relievers this season, having pitched 26.1 innings in 23 games. He has a 1.41 WHIP and an 8.54 K/9, so his numbers for the season aren't anything baffling, but he appears to be a versatile bullpen option. Torres has pitched anywhere from a third of an inning to two full frames and has three holds to go with two saves. However, there are reasons to question whether Torres' May performance is just a hot streak or his new norm, as his career ERA and WHIP are 4.17 and 1.36.
