The Milwaukee Brewers have a chance to win their first four series of the regular season today if they can take the rubber match against the Boston Red Sox.
On the mound today for the Brewers is Shane Drohan, who will be making his MLB debut. Drohan was acquired from the Red Sox right before spring training along with Kyle Harrison and David Hamilton in exchange for Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Siegler. Drohan impressed the Brewers in spring training, but wasn’t able to make the Opening
Day roster in the crowded rotation picture.
With Chad Patrick needing an extra day of rest following the rainout and double-header forcing his last start back a day, the Brewers decided to give Drohan his first opportunity.
On the field, Brice Turang is out for the second straight game as he’s dealing with a minor ankle/foot issue. This will allow Turang three straight days off his ankle before the Brewers play on Friday against the Nationals. William Contreras also gets the day off in a day game after a night game.
Sal Frelick and Garrett Mitchell lead things off for the Brewers, followed by Christian Yelich, Jake Bauers, and Gary Sanchez. Sonny Gray is on the mound for the Red Sox for this series finale.
First pitch is at 12:35 PM.
