After losing 2 of 3 this weekend to the World Series champion Atlanta Braves, bringing the Brewers down to earth, things get a lot easier for Milwaukee starting Monday night.
PROGRAM NOTE: Because of the Bucks-Celtics game, the Brewers will be on WIZM tonight. Pregame begins at 5:05 p.m. Tune in on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska).
Last week, the Brewers swept the Cincinnati Reds in three games by a total score of 34-12. And that’s where Milwaukee is for its next three.
The Reds are easily the worst team in baseball, with a 5-23 record, and two of those wins came this weekend against the abysmal Pittsburgh Pirates.
Brandon Woodruff takes the mound Monday for Milwaukee, looking to improve on a bloated 5.18 ERA. Woodruff does have 31 strikeouts in just 24.1 innings, however.
