The Milwaukee Brewers are back at American Family Field tonight, looking to make it two in a row against the New York Yankees. After a hard-fought victory on May 8, the Crew is riding some momentum—but they'll have to do it without one of their key outfielders.
Left-hander Kyle Harrison takes the mound for Milwaukee, bringing his crafty arsenal against Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler, who brings serious heat. It's a classic pitching matchup: finesse vs. firepower.
The big story, however, is the injury to Brandon Lockridge. In a scary moment during Friday's game, Lockridge collided with the exposed concrete along the left-field wall in foul territory. The result? A right knee laceration and contusion that landed him on the 10-day injured list. It's a tough blow for the Brewers, who have relied on his speed and defense.
To fill the void, Milwaukee has recalled Blake Perkins from Class AAA Nashville—just six days after sending him down. Perkins knows the system well and brings a fresh spark to the outfield. Expect him to be eager to make an impact.
As the Brewers aim to keep the Yankees off balance, all eyes will be on Harrison to set the tone early. Can Milwaukee's bats back him up and deliver another win in front of the home crowd? Stay tuned for live updates and all the action from American Family Field.
