The Milwaukee Brewers lost their opener against Philadelphia, but after an off day, get back in the action with hopes of tying the series.
Josa Quintana gets the start as he looks to rebound from a bumpy outing against the Diamondbacks last week. He surrendered six runs over 3 2/3 innings, the first time he failed to go at least five innings since the middle of June. Prior to that game against Arizona, Quintana had been on a good run of form, surrendering three or fewer runs in six straight outings.
Aaron Nola takes the mound for Philadelphia in his fourth start since returning from the injured list. He’s struggled to acclimate so far, giving up 12 earned runs across 14 1/3 innings. While August proved to be a difficult month for Nola, he did work six innings in his last two starts, so the Phillies should expect him to still provide a measure of length in today’s game.
The Brewers lineup starts off with Brice Turang in the leadoff spot. Recently announced as the NL Player of the Month, Turang had a .343/.398/.694 slash line in August. His season OPS now sits at .798, a significant improvement from his .665 mark last season.
Joining Turang in the infield are Anthony Seigler, Joey Ortiz, and Jake Bauers. William Contreras makes the start at catcher.
The outfield lines up with Isaac Collins, Blake Perkins, and Sal Frelick from left to right. Christian Yelich takes his role as designated hitter.
Before the game, the Brewers announced a pair of roster moves. RHP Shelby Miller was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow sprain. That move is retroactive to September 2. Another righty was selected from Triple-A in his place in Joel Payamps.
First pitch today is at 6:40 p.m. with the broadcast available on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin and the Brewers Radio Network.
