The Milwaukee Brewers, currently sitting pretty at 12-9, head into Comerica Park tonight to tangle with the Detroit Tigers, who are clinging to a 12-11 record. Chad Patrick, a righty with a shiny 1-0 record and a 0.95 ERA that's almost as shiny, takes the mound for Milwaukee. Let's be real, with numbers like those, Patrick's got to be doing something right - or the Brewers are just really good at picking 'em.
The real question is: can the Brewers' bats, which have been humming along at a .232 clip, keep up with the Tigers' lineup that's hitting .245 with 17 homers? The Brewers have shown they can score, with 106 runs so far, but they'll have to navigate around some injury trouble, including Jared Koenig on the 15-Day IL and J.B. Bukauskas on the 7-Day IL. The Tigers, meanwhile, are dealing with their own issues, but that's a story for another time. Make your pick or join the discussion on StreakChat!
