Spring Training Showdown: Can the Underdog Brewers Upset Rangers’ Early Dominance?
Lockridge and Mitchell are both penciled into today’s lineup, joining Sal Frelick, who’ll be leading off from the other outfield slot. Joey Ortiz and Christian Yelich will set the table atop the order, with Andrew Vaughn batting cleanup. Expect Gary Sánchez, Luis Rengifo, and David Hamilton to round out the nine. That said, the full roster puzzle won’t click into place until the rest of the Brewers return from the World Baseball Classic.
The big story on the mound? Brandon Woodruff takes the bump—for only his second spring appearance. His first outing was a solid two-inning performance, and tonight he’s slated for four innings. This outing could be the litmus test of his readiness come Opening Day. Joining him on the mound: Grant Anderson, Trevor Megill, and Jared Koenig. The first pitch fires off at 8:10 p.m. and will air live on the Brewers Radio Network. This game might just whisper the tale of what’s to come this season.
