Steinbrenner<\/a> Field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"y80kNJ\">Tobias Myers, who sports a 3.65 ERA since returning from an oblique injury that caused him to miss the first month of the season, will get the ball today for the Crew. Myers earned the win in his last start (vs. the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crawfishboxes.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Astros<\/a> on May 5), going 5.1 innings and allowing just a single earned run. Myers will face off against righty Taj Bradley, who has pitched to the tune of a 4.43 ERA in seven starts this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"X81MER\">Jackson Chourio, who singled three times and stole a couple bases yesterday, will lead things off again for Milwaukee. The lineup looks pretty much the same as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewcrewball.com\/2025\/5\/9\/24427137\/game-thread-39-milwaukee-brewers-19-19-tampa-bay-rays-16-21\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">yesterday,<\/a> with Isaac Collins replacing Jake Bauers in left. Collins, who struck out in a pinch hit at-bat yesterday, is hitting .250 with a 105 OPS+ on the season. <\/p>\n<p id=\"GZSdhh\">Caleb Durbin, slashing .226\/.310\/.323 as a Brewer, continues to start over the newly called up Andruw Monasterio. Durbin (who\u2019s had a hit in three of his last five games) went 1-4 with an RBI yesterday, continuing to be the only somewhat consistent hitter on the left side of the infield.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YcTfqv\">William Contreras is still in the lineup at catcher. Contreras (244\/.362\/.331) is putting up his most underwhelming offensive season as a Brewer due to a <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516590&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fnews%2Fbrewers-coaches-get-creative-to-help-injured-william-contreras&amp;referrer=sbnation.com&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brewcrewball.com%2F2025%2F5%2F10%2F24427550%2Fgame-thread-40-milwaukee-brewers-19-20-tampa-bay-rays-17-21\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" has-subtag=\"true\" data-cdata=\"{\" rewritten_url=\"\">fractured<\/a> finger.
