MLB’s best team from a year ago gets set to take on MLB’s worst team from a year ago as the Brewers and Colorado Rockies square off in today’s Cactus League action.
Lefty Robert Gasser gets the start today for the Brewers. This will be his second Cactus League outing this year. In his first, Gasser had a crisp one inning with one strikeout on 11 pitches. We’re seeing the starting pitchers getting stretched out to three innings this week so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Gasser throw that many today.
Following Gasser will be Coleman Crow, Craig Yoho, Jacob Waguespack, and Sammy Peralta. Yoho was slated to go yesterday, but Sproat, Henderson, and Drohan each went three innings and he wasn’t needed. On the mound for the Rockies is righty Michael Lorenzen.
The Brewers lineup will have a lot of starters at the top. Garrett Mitchell will lead off followed by Sal Frelick, Jake Bauers, Blake Perkins, and Luis Rengifo. Then a couple of prospects in Brock Wilken at first base, Jeferson Quero behind the plate, and Cooper Pratt at shortstop. Non-roster invite Eddys Leonard rounds out the lineup at second base.
First pitch will be at 2:10 PM CT and can be heard only on a webcast on Brewers.com.
