The main setup man for All-Star closer Josh Hader, the 27-year-old Williams is 8-2 with a 2.50 ERA in 58 games this season. He has struck out 87 in 54 innings. Williams hurt himself on the day the Brewers clinched the NL Central crown. He said he went out for a few drinks after the celebration, got upset about something on the way home and punched a wall.
