While it wasn\u2019t an ideal start to the series, Milwaukee was ultimately able to bounce back from a similarly rough offensive performance against the Rockies last weekend, scoring 19 runs over the next two games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">On the mound for Milwaukee is Logan Henderson, who at this point has thrown enough innings to move beyond the \u201csmall sample size\u201d caveat. Through eight starts, he owns a 3.05 ERA \u2014 which has nevertheless raised his career ERA to 2.54 \u2014 and his 0.94 WHIP is lower than it was last season. In his last outing, Henderson tossed five innings against the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out nine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">San Francisco will counter with Landen Roupp, who has quietly been one of the more consistent mid-rotation starters in baseball over the last three seasons. This year has been no different. Roupp enters tonight with a 3.93 ERA, almost identical to his career mark of 3.81, while his 1.24 WHIP and 2.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio are both career bests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Before getting to today\u2019s lineup, there\u2019s been plenty of roster news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u2014 First, Brewer beat writer Adam McCalvy reported this morning that Jake Bauers suffered a broken toe after fouling a ball off his foot last night and is expected to miss some time. Later reports <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/status\/2082237556977197454\" rel=\"nofollow\">clarified<\/a> that the injury is actually an \u201cold fracture\u201d he\u2019s been playing through, meaning it\u2019ll be a matter of pain management moving forward. He\u2019s not in today\u2019s lineup, but he also hasn\u2019t been placed on the injured list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u2014 Sal Frelick and Kyle Harrison are both expected back next month. Harrison\u2019s return is currently targeted for early August, while Frelick is expected back in early to mid-August. Frelick received a cortisone injection in his right shoulder last week, and Harrison is scheduled to make a 75-to-80-pitch rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u2014 Infielder Braden Shewmake cleared waivers, declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville, and elected free agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">After going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts last night, Christian Yelich slides down to the cleanup spot. Brice Turang, who ranks second on the Brewers in on-base percentage behind Bauers, will lead off, followed by Jackson Chourio and William Contreras. Andrew Vaughn and Luis Lara, batting fifth and sixth while playing first base and right field, respectively, will both start with Bauers out. Rounding out the lineup are Garrett Mitchell, Cooper Pratt, and David Hamilton, who\u2019s getting the start at third base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Today\u2019s game will be broadcast on Brewers.TV and the Brewers\u2019 Radio Network, with first pitch set for 8:45 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brewers\u2019 offense came crashing back to Earth in last night\u2019s series opener against the San Francisco Giants,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[90586,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-415977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-milwaukee-brewers-discussions","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
