The Brewers opened their series against the Reds last night with a late rally to take a 5-3 win. It was their fourth straight win against the Reds this season. The Brewers will try to extend that to five straight wins tonight.<\/p>\n
Brandon Sproat starts game two for the Brewers. He\u2019s pitched six innings in two of his last three starts, with his last one particularly impressive. Coming against this Reds\u2019 team, he pitched six shutout innings with just one hit allowed and 10 strikeouts. This is his third career start against them.<\/p>\n
For the Reds, Rhett Lowder gets the start. The Brewers also faced him in their last series and scored three runs off him in 5 2\/3 innings. Overall, this season, Lowder has a 4.81 ERA and 4.67 FIP in 12 games over 58 innings.<\/p>\n
Before tonight\u2019s game, the Brewers made a roster move. They selected the contract of Garrett Stallings from Triple-A Nashville. Stallings was originally drafted by the Angels in 2019 and has been at the Triple-A level since 2024. This season, he has a 3.45 ERA and 3.29 FIP in 16 games (12 starts) over 62 2\/3 innings. He also has 59 strikeouts and 22 walks. His first appearance will be his major league debut, and he offers a full complement of three options available as well.<\/p>\n
In a corresponding move, they optioned Robert Gasser to the Rookie ACL Brewers following his start yesterday. They did not need to clear a 40-man spot since one was open following Luis Rengifo\u2019s DFA and release. While this is not a surprising roster move, the destination is. There could be a few reasons for this. The Brewers are traveling to Arizona after this series for three games against the Diamondbacks. Gasser cannot be called up for 15 days unless it\u2019s as a corresponding move for an injury. This could be some security if there is an injury concern on the pitching staff. It could also be for some extra work, as other pitchers have rehabbed in Arizona since it provides a more flexible environment, especially when pitching in games. He could also be used as the 27th man in Milwaukee\u2019s doubleheader against St. Louis next week (there is no minimum day requirements in the case of a 27th man).<\/p>\n
After three straight games against left-handed starters, the Brewers are back to their regular lineup with a righty on the mound. One change in the lineup is that Joey Ortiz is getting a start at shortstop following his go-ahead home run last night. Cooper Pratt and Andrew Vaughn will start this game on the bench.<\/p>\n
