The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to parlay their win in the series opener against the New York Yankees<\/a> into a series win on Saturday night. They were able to shut out the Yankees potent lineup on Friday night, the first shutout the Brewers have had against the Yankees since 1992.<\/p>\n

On the mound trying to repeat that performance, albeit with fewer triple-digit fastballs, will be the lefty Kyle Harrison. Harrison has been off to a great start in his first season with the Brewers following the February trade with the Boston Red Sox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Harrison has a 2.12 ERA across his six starts and his last two have been his best. He struck out 12 over 6 IP against the Pirates and then his last time out went 6 IP again, allowing just one run in a win over the Nationals.<\/p>\n

On the mound for the Yankees will be the right-hander Cam Schlittler<\/a>, who has a stellar 1.52 ERA on the season.<\/p>\n

With a righty being on the mound for New York<\/a>, Pat Murphy is loading his lineup with left-handed hitters. Jackson Chourio<\/a> and William Contreras<\/a> are the only right-handed hitters in the order tonight, hitting leadoff and third, respectively. Brice Turang<\/a> is in between them. Then the 4-9 spots in the order are all lefties and switch-hitters; Jake Bauers<\/a>, Tyler Black<\/a>, Sal Frelick<\/a>, Garrett Mitchell<\/a>, Luis Rengifo<\/a>, and David Hamilton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Yankees, meanwhile, are going a little atypical with 38-year-old first baseman Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> batting leadoff. Goldschmidt has killed the Brewers over the course of his 16-year career with a .295 average, 30 homers, and .932 OPS. Ben Rice<\/a>, Aaron Judge<\/a>, and Cody Bellinger<\/a> follow him. Spencer Jones, the hotshot prospect who made his debut facing Jacob Misiorowski<\/a>\u2019s 104-mph heat, is back in the lineup playing center field and batting eighth.<\/p>\n

The Brewers made a transaction today, placing Brandon Lockridge<\/a> on the IL with a right knee laceration and contusion following his scary crash into the LF wall yesterday. Blake Perkins<\/a> was recalled from Triple-A to take his place.<\/p>\n

Pat Murphy told reporters that \u201cAt the shortest, it\u2019s a month,\u201d that Lockridge will be out. But he\u2019s still yet to get an MRI as they wait for the swelling to go down. The MRI is scheduled for Monday.<\/p>\n

The Brewers offense will have a tough task again with a quality starter on the bump for New York, but their man on the mound is no slouch either. First pitch is at 6:10 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to parlay their win in the series opener against the New York Yankees…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226004,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[10094,48671,88061,3472,88043,67652,32358,13917,88048,88039,88036,88038,88054,88045,88063,9420,17704,9,11,10,321,88847,51140,19217,88062,88055,820,88050,27929],"class_list":["post-226003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-aaron-judge","tag-ben-rice","tag-blake-perkins","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-brandon-lockridge","tag-brice-turang","tag-cam-schlittler","tag-cody-bellinger","tag-david-hamilton","tag-garrett-mitchell","tag-jackson-chourio","tag-jacob-misiorowski","tag-jake-bauers","tag-kyle-harrison","tag-luis-rengifo","tag-milwaukee","tag-milwaukee-brewers","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-pat-murphy","tag-paul-goldschmidt","tag-pittsburgh-pirates","tag-sal-frelick","tag-tyler-black","tag-usa","tag-william-contreras","tag-wisconsin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226003"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226003\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
