Baseball is back again. After a four day reprieve with the All Star Break, the Milwaukee Brewers have a game to play. They begin a nine game homestand with a three game series against the Miami Marlins.
The Brewers made a couple of moves during the All Star Break to shuffle the roster a little. Lance McCullers Jr was acquired from the Houston Astros and he has been activated off the IL. McCullers will initially pitch out of the bullpen, according to manager Pat Murphy. Lefty Jared Koenig was optioned to the minors as the corresponding move. Murphy said Koenig will head to Arizona first to try to work on some things before he reports to Nashville.
Despite the poor air quality in Milwaukee due to Canadian and Minnesota wild fires, the Brewers will be playing this game and the roof is open.
On the mound, Logan Henderson will start the second half for the Crew. He was solid in his return from the IL before the All Star Break, going 5.1 IP with just three runs allowed in the Brewers 8-4 win over the Cardinals. Henderson has a 3.18 ERA on the season.
For the Marlins, they will have their ace, Sandy Alcantara on the bump. Alcantara has not quite been the same as he was prior to his Tommy John surgery, but is turning in a solid season with a 3.99 ERA with 20 starts and 130.2 IP. He leads the league in innings pitched and has been a reliable option for the Fish. Alcantara has historically done well against the Brewers with a 3.14 ERA in eight games.
The Brewers lineup will have all the regulars in there. Yelich, Chourio, and Turang will make up the top of the order, followed by Contreras, Bauers, and Mitchell. Rounding out the bottom of the lineup will be Pratt, Frelick, and Ortiz.
The Marlins offense is led by Liam Hicks, Otto Lopez, and Xavier Edwards. Kyle Stowers, Heriberto Hernandez, and Griffin Conine make up the middle of their order. Then Jakob Marsee, Joe Mack, and Javier Sanoja round out the bottom of the starting nine. That makes five lefties and a switch hitter in the lineup against the right-hander Logan Henderson.
It’s Cerveceros Night at the ballpark and the Brewers will be wearing their City Connect uniforms. Now the final push to the postseason begins as the second half gets underway at 6:40 p.m.
Ready, set, second-half
