In an afternoon matchup featuring two left-handed starters, the Milwaukee Brewers are gearing up to take on the Cincinnati Reds. Robert Gasser will take the mound for the Brewers, while Andrew Abbott will oppose him, setting the stage for an intriguing pitching duel.

The Brewers are looking to bounce back after a tough loss to the Dodgers on Monday, where their bullpen struggled in the late innings. With a day off to regroup, they return to the diamond today in Goodyear, eager to find their rhythm.

Following Gasser, several relievers are expected to see action, including Grant Anderson, Craig Yoho, Trevor Megill, and Jared Koenig. This lineup will be crucial as they aim to secure a victory against the Reds.

Leading off for the Brewers is Sal Frelick, followed by Andrew Vaughn and Gary Sánchez. The heart of the order features Luis Rengifo, Brandon Lockridge, and David Hamilton, while Reese McGuire, Luis Lara, and Jesús Made round out the lineup. Notably, today marks a special occasion for Jackson Chourio, who celebrates his 22nd birthday, prompting the inevitable remarks about his youth.

Fans can catch all the action as the first pitch is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. CT, with a radio broadcast available through the Brewers’ website.
