The last day of spring training as the Brewers will take on the Reds in their second of two exhibition games at American Family Field.
Then, after an off day tomorrow, the Brewers will welcome the White Sox to open the season on Thursday afternoon. Brandon Sproat is slated to start in this one, with Kyle Harrison also expected pitch. Sproat has made three appearances this spring, spanning nine innings with five runs allowed on 10 hits and a pair of walks while recording 10 strikeouts.
His last outing came against the Rockies on March 14, when he went 4 2/3 innings and allowed two runs with three strikeouts. Harrison has made four appearances this spring (though only three officially, as the first of those came against Great Britain in an exhibition). Over 12 2/3 innings, he’s allowed 12 runs (eight earned) on 14 hits and four walks with 17 strikeouts.
Most of the regulars will once again start in the lineup, with Jackson Chourio returning to the outfield after an appearance at DH yesterday. Brice Turang bats second, followed by William Contreras and Christian Yelich (who replaces Chourio at DH). Andrew Vaughn, Jake Bauers, and Sal Frelick follow, with David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz rounding out the order.
