The Milwaukee Brewers, having won their last three games after starting the spring slate with a four-game losing streak, will look to move back to .500 on Friday afternoon, as they take on the Chicago White Sox for the second time in a week (and second of two times this spring).<\/p>\n
The Brewers dropped the previous matchup, 5-2, on Sunday afternoon in a split-squad day for the Crew. Akil Baddoo crushed a solo homer in that one, while Andrew Vaughn picked up a pair of singles. Baddoo is not in today\u2019s lineup, but Vaughn will bat sixth as the DH.<\/p>\n
Jackson Chourio leads off in left field, followed by Brice Turang, William Contreras, and Sal Frelick in the cleanup spot. Jake Bauers bats fifth and starts at first, followed by Vaughn, Luis Rengifo, Garrett Mitchell, and Joey Ortiz. Freddy-Peralta-trade-acquisition Brandon Sproat gets the start in his spring debut.<\/p>\n
Sproat is expected to be followed by righties Easton McGee and Abner Uribe, as well as lefties Drew Rom and Shane Drohan (who was acquired in the Caleb Durbin trade a few weeks ago). This will mark Drohan\u2019s spring debut, while McGee, Uribe, and Rom have all made one prior appearance. Per Todd Rosiak, Sproat and Drohan are both expected to throw two innings today.<\/p>\n
Chicago\u2019s expected starter is right-hander Sean Burke in a split-squad day for the Sox. Given that this is a road game for them, most of their lineup consists of role players \u2014 including former Brewer Oliver Dunn and Wisconsin native Jarred Kelenic \u2014 with a few prospects scattered in.<\/p>\n
In other news, Jacob Misiorowski is set to make his spring debut on Tuesday, March 3 against Team Great Britain in a World Baseball Classic tune-up game. That game will be broadcast via an audio feed on the Brewers website.<\/p>\n
First pitch is set for 2:10 p.m. CT. Today\u2019s game will be broadcast on 620 WTMJ in Milwaukee and via the Brewers Radio Network across Wisconsin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers, having won their last three games after starting the spring slate with a four-game losing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":596625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2379],"tags":[5,138,49,2561,72545,4,396,2562],"class_list":{"0":"post-596624","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-white-sox","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-white-sox","11":"tag-chicagowhitesox","12":"tag-milwaukee-brewers-discussions","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-white-sox","15":"tag-whitesox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116144182748049045","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=596624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/596624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/596625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=596624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=596624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=596624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
