Brewers Face Reds in Spring Training Showdown with Hunter Greene on the Mound

As the sun shines down on the Cactus League, the Milwaukee Brewers prepare to face a key division rival this afternoon in the Cincinnati Reds. The spotlight will be on Hunter Greene, the Reds’ ace, as he takes the mound against the Brewers, who will send lefty reliever Rob Zastryzny to pitch first.

The Brewers have shown resilience after a rocky start to their spring campaign, losing their first four games before turning things around with four consecutive victories. With a win today, Milwaukee could surpass the .500 mark in the Cactus League standings, an encouraging sign as they gear up for the regular season.

Today’s lineup showcases a strong contingent of players who are likely to make the opening-day roster. Leading off for the Brewers are Sal Frelick, Jackson Chourio, and William Contreras, who will serve as the designated hitter. They are followed by Brice Turang, Andrew Vaughn, and Gary Sánchez, while Joey Ortiz, Blake Perkins, and David Hamilton round out the batting order. Notably, Hamilton has been highlighted by manager Pat Murphy as a player to watch this season.

On the pitching side, Zastryzny will hand the ball off to a notable group of left-handed pitchers, including Angel Zerpa, Jared Koenig, Sammy Peralta, and Coleman Crow, providing a challenging lineup for Reds hitters as they face predominantly lefty arms today.

Fans can catch the action live on the Brewers’ new streaming service, Brewers.TV, which is offering its first official broadcast of the spring. The game will also air on the Brewers radio network, with first pitch set for 2:10 p.m. Join Jeff Levering, Bill Schroeder, and Sophia Minnaert as they provide the call for what promises to be an exciting matchup.
