The Brewers will get an early look at the formidable ace of a division foe this afternoon when Hunter Greene takes the mound for the Cincinnati Reds. The starting pitcher for the Brewers is lefty reliever Rob Zastryzny.
Milwaukee started their Cactus League season in rough fashion, dropping their first four games. But since then, they’ve won four in a row, and a whole bunch of hitters seem locked in as we haven’t even reached March yet. A win today would put the Brewers above .500 in the all-important Cactus League standings.
It’s another strong lineup for the Brewers today, with nine players, all of whom I think will likely be on Milwaukee’s opening day roster. Sal Frelick, Jackson Chourio and William Contreras (as the DH) lead things, followed by Brice Turang, Andrew Vaughn and Gary Sánchez. Joey Ortiz, Blake Perkins and David Hamilton form the backline. Hamilton is apparently Pat Murphy’s ‘jump’ pick for this season:
The notable pitchers who will follow Zastryzny this afternoon are Angel Zerpa, Jared Koenig, Sammy Peralta and Coleman Crow – so the Reds will get a ton of left-handed pitching today, with four of those five (all but Crow) lefties.
Today’s game will air for free on the Brewers’ new streaming service, Brewers.TV. (You have to log in, but you don’t have to pay anything.) It is their first official broadcast of the spring, with Jeff Levering, Bill Schroeder and Sophia Minnaert on the line. You can also hear it on the Brewers radio network. First pitch at 2:10 PM
