With his full arsenal of pitches available, Tobias tore through opposing lineups in June, striking out 20 and walking only one in 24 1/3 innings while posting a 2.96 ERA. He was named the Brewers’ Complex League pitcher of the month for June just before he was promoted.

The Brewers saw their 14-game winning streak snapped yesterday by the Reds, 3-2, in ten innings. Cincinnati tied the game at two with a run in the ninth and walked it off at The Great American Ballpark in the tenth on an Austin Hays' single. Jose Quintana allowed a single run over 6.1 innings in another strong start for Milwaukee.
