Shortly after,Houser walked towards the back of the mound,where he vomited,the second such time Houser had vomited on the mound during a game. After this,he proceeded to notch ten strikeouts and finish the game as the winning pitcher. [12] In 2019 for Milwaukee,Houser appeared in 35 games,pitching to a 6–7 record and a 3.72 ERA with 117 strikeouts in 111.1 innings pitched.

Houser finished the season with a 3.22 ERA. Houser also tossed his first complete-game shutout against the Cardinals on September 4,2021. [16] Houser's salary for the 2022 season was decided via the arbitration process;he had asked for $3 million,and received $2.425 million. [17] In 2022 he was 6-10 with a 4.73 ERA,and had the lowest LOB percentage in the majors (60.8%). [18]
