MILWAUKEE -- When the Brewers demoted left-hander Mitch Stetter to the Minors late in Spring Training, they told him to focus on getting outs against right-handed hitters so he could be more than a lefty specialist.

So far, so good.

Stetter worked two full innings for the win on Wednesday night, his fourth scoreless appearance since joining the Brewers' bullpen last week and his ninth this season, including five games at Triple-A Nashville. After holding opponents to 2-for 21 (.095) in the Minors, big league left-handed hitters are 1-for-9 against Stetter and righty hitters are 1-for-7. He has seven strikeouts vs. three walks, two of which went to the first two hitters Stetter faced in his April 18 debut against the Reds.

"After my first outing in Cincinnati, I've got the confidence I need," he said. "I feel so comfortable on the mound right now. Everything is blocked out. It's just me and [catcher] Jason [Kendall]."

Stetter and Shouse offer manager Ned Yost two left-handed options this early in a season for the first time since 2003, when the Brewers drew from a variety of lefty relievers including Valerio de los Santos, John Foster, Shane Nance and Rule 5 Draft pick Matt Ford.

Stetter became the 13th pitcher on Milwaukee's staff, a number that ballooned to 14 when starter Yovani Gallardo came off the disabled list over the weekend. Someone will probably have to go on Tuesday when center fielder Mike Cameron returns from a suspension, and it remains to be seen whether the Brewers are willing to give up the luxury of two left-handers in the bullpen.

"I think [Stetter] feels like he belongs here," said bullpen coach Bill Castro, who called having a pair of lefties "the ideal situation."
