dailyloe.com – The Milwaukee Brewers visit the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday night. The game starts at 6:45 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NESN and WEEI-FM 93.7.
Milwaukee enters as one of baseball’s hottest teams with a 7-2 record. They have won their first three series of the young season. Boston, conversely, has struggled to a 2-7 start.
The Brewers secured an 8-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. They never trailed in that contest. Gary Sanchez hit a two-run homer in the first inning.
Sanchez leads the team with three home runs this season. Christian Yelich also contributed with two hits and an RBI triple. Milwaukee’s offense has been consistently productive early.
“It’s relentless,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of his offense. He noted his players treat two outs as being two-thirds through an inning. The team’s approach has been effective.
The Red Sox are looking to rebound after a tough homestand. They lost two of three games to the San Diego Padres over the weekend. Finding momentum against the surging Brewers presents a challenge.
Brandon Woodruff will start on the mound for Milwaukee. He holds a 1-0 record with a 3.60 ERA. Brayan Bello will pitch for Boston, carrying an 0-1 record and a 9.64 ERA.
The Brewers’ lineup features Brice Turang, William Contreras, and Christian Yelich. Boston’s lineup includes Jarren Duran, Masataka Yoshida, and Trevor Story. Both teams have posted their starting lineups for the game.
Historical batter-pitcher matchups show varied success. For instance, Willson Contreras is 2-for-19 against Brandon Woodruff. Christian Yelich is 2-for-7 against Boston’s Brayan Bello.
This interleague series marks Milwaukee’s first game against an American League opponent this year. The Brewers won a league-best 97 games last season. They aim to continue their strong early form in Boston.[]
