The Cactus Crew still hasn’t been able to get their first win of spring training after losing a late lead against the Padres on Monday. Today they’ll be traveling again to face the not-Oakland-not-Las-Vegas-but-not-Sacramento Athletics.
Lefty Rob Zastryzny will get the start today for the Brewers. Righty Mason Barnett is the scheduled starter for the Athletics.
The lineup once again has a mix of some of the big-league regulars and some minor league fillers. Sal Frelick is leading off at DH followed by Brice Turang. Akil Baddoo, Blake Perkins, Tyler Black, and David Hamilton fill out the middle of the order while Reese McGuire, Luke Adams, and Greg Jones round out the bottom of the lineup. The Athletics will have a bunch of their starters in there, including Tyler Soderstrom and Jacob Wilson, who both were recently extended by the A’s.
After Zastryzny, the Brewers are expected to deploy fellow lefties Ángel Zerpa and Sammy Peralta, as well as right-handed prospect Coleman Crow, who was added to the 40-man roster earlier in the offseason.
First pitch in this one is slated for 2:05 p.m. CT and a radio broadcast is available on MLB.com.
