The Brewers return to Cactus League action Friday after an exciting 10\u20138 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Today\u2019s game pits Milwaukee against the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first time this spring.<\/p>\n
Chad Patrick is on the mound for the Brewers on the heels of Pat Murphy\u2019s declaration that Patrick \u201cwill be in the rotation<\/a>\u201d to start the year. The right-hander showed up when called upon last year, putting up a 3.53 ERA in the regular season and a 2.00 ERA in six playoff games. Also scheduled to pitch today for the Crew are Jared Koenig and Peter Strzelecki. Pitching for the Diamondbacks is lefty Mitch Bratt, who had a 3.38 ERA in Double-A last year.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s lineup is one you\u2019ll probably never see in the regular season. Jake Bauers is leading off followed by Brandon Lockridge and Christian Yelich, who homered and reached base three times in his spring debut on Wednesday. A trio of offseason acquisitions \u2014 Akil Baddoo, Reese McGuire, and David Hamilton \u2014 will follow Yelich. Prospects Luis Lara and Jes\u00fas Made are hitting seventh and eighth, respectively. Hitting ninth and playing second base today is Greg Jones<\/a>, who the Brewers signed to a minor league contract in the offseason.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s game will be broadcast via radio on WTMJ 640 and the Brewers Radio Network. First pitch is set for 2:10 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brewers return to Cactus League action Friday after an exciting 10\u20138 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
