In his highly anticipated return to the mound, Brandon Woodruff delivered a stellar performance for the Milwaukee Brewers, leading them to a 3-1 victory over the Miami Marlins. After a lengthy absence due to shoulder surgery and ankle tendinitis, Woodruff pitched six solid innings, allowing just one run and striking out eight batters, showcasing his dominant fastball that reached up to 96 mph.

His comeback was noteworthy not just for the win but for the manner in which he executed, as he faced the same Marlins team that marked his last start before his injury hiatus. Woodruff's resilience shone, especially after a series of setbacks in his rehabilitation, indicating he may still be a formidable force in the Brewers' rotation as they contend for the playoffs.
