May did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four hits and no walks over 4.2 scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out seven.
Analysis:After exiting his previous start Thursday due to a right ankle injury, May kept the Milwaukee offense quiet before being removed after 81 pitches (55 strikes) as St. Louis planned to limit his workload Monday. It was a positive step in the right direction for the right-hander, who had surrendered a combined 11 runs across 2.2 innings in his previous two starts. On the year, the 28-year-old owns a 5-6 record with a 4.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 85:24 K:BB across 89 innings (17 starts). May is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Saturday against Atlanta.
