Milwaukee looks to pick up its third straight series win after splitting yesterday’s doubleheader with the Kansas City Royals. On the mound is offseason acquisition Kyle Harrison, who impressed in his first start against the Tampa Bay Rays — tossing five innings with eight strikeouts while allowing just one earned run. Harrison faces a stiffer test today against this Royals lineup, but early returns suggest he’s more than up to the task.
Kansas City counters with left-hander Kris Bubic, who posted a 2.55 ERA across 20 starts in 2025 and opened his season by holding the Twins to two hits over six innings.
Brice Turang leads off again, looking to bounce back after striking out five times over two games yesterday. Hitting second and playing third base is Luis Rengifo, who’s doubled twice in five at-bats this series. William Contreras, Christian Yelich, and Gary Sanchez (at first base) make up the heart of the order. Luis Matos will make his first start as a Brewer, batting sixth and playing right field in place of Sal Frelick, who is out after exiting yesterday’s nightcap with what the team called “left side tightness.” Brandon Lockridge (in center field), Blake Perkins, and Joey Ortiz round out the lineup.
Despite Frelick’s absence, Garrett Mitchell isn’t in today’s lineup. Mitchell, who leads the team with 11 RBIs, has recorded an RBI double in each of his last three games.
Today’s first pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. You can catch the game on Brewers.TV, the Brewers Radio Network, and WTMJ 620.
