After falling victim to a Logan Webb gem last night, Milwaukee will try to keep the Giants from evening this four game series at two games apiece. Coleman Crow will go for the Brewers opposite Adrian Houser.
Some of you may not remember that Crow and Houser were actually traded for one another after the 2023 season. Milwaukee acquired Crow, at the time the Mets’ No. 29 prospect, in exchange for Houser (entering his last year of team control) and outfielder Tyrone Taylor.
Crow spent the whole 2024 season
recovering from Tommy John surgery, then recorded a 2.51 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in ten starts with Double-A Biloxi before earning a promotion to Triple-A Nashville. He made his big league debut earlier this year and has a 3.14 ERA through three starts (14.1 IP).
Houser, meanwhile, has pitched for four different teams since leaving Milwaukee. He struggled in his lone season in New York and was eventually designated for assignment in late July. Houser then signed minor league contracts with the Cubs, Orioles, and Rangers before finally latching on with the White Sox in late May of 2025.
He pitched well enough (2.10 ERA) in eleven starts with Chicago that the Rays traded for him at the deadline, but Houser couldn’t replicate his early-season success down in Tampa. He signed with the Giants in the offseason and has been struggling again — entering today’s game with a 5.59 ERA in eleven starts (56.1 IP).
Designated hitter Christian Yelich leads off again today, followed by Jackson Chourio. Brice Turang — who had the Brewers’ only hit against Webb last night — and William Contreras will hit third and fourth, respectively. Jake Bauers will bat fifth and play first base, with Andrew Vaughn starting the game on the bench.
Rounding out the lineup are center fielder Garrett Mitchell, right fielder Sal Frelick, third baseman Luis Rengifo, and shortstop David Hamilton.
As always, you can catch the game on Brewers.TV, WTMJ 620, and the Brewers Radio Network. First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m.
