The first trade in Joy in Mudville history is in the books.

The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to send minor league pitcher Wayne Twitchell to the Washington Senators for right fielder Larry Biittner.

Twitchell, a 22-year-old right-hander, was 0-2 with a 1.69 for the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate. He struck out 21 hitters in 21.1 innings.

Biittner, the pride of Pocahontas, Iowa, batted .283 with one home run and eight RBI in 26 at-bats for Washington.

"These are exciting times for the Washington Senators organization," said team GM Dan S. "Pitching is the name of the game and we believe that Wayne Twitchell will be a key part to our future success."

Washington holds the ninth overall pick in tonight's amateur draft. Milwaukee will select 11th.
