Milwaukee Braves
The Braves original assigned Brunet to the Louisville Colonels upon acquiring him, but he was quickly called up after going 4–1 with a 0.78 earned run average. He went 2–0 with a 5.07 ERA in seventeen games (6 starts) in his first season with the Braves. He again started 1961 in the majors, but was sidelined by an appendectomy after just one appearance. He made four appearances when he returned that June, but was reassigned to the triple A Vancouver Mounties by the end of the month, and remained there for the rest of the season. On May 16, 1962, he was traded to the Houston Colt .45's for minor league pitcher Ben Johnson.
