29-year-old rookie Alexander makes MLB debut Wednesday on mound for Brewers at Cubs
The Milwaukee Brewers finally wrap up their 11-game, 10-day road trip tonight — the teams longest road trip of the season.
Pregame for Brewers-Cubs on WKTY begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Tune in on 96.7 FM / 580 AM
The Cubs snapped Milwaukee’s three-game win streak last night with an eighth-inning, Patrick Wisdom solo home run for the 8-7 win.
The two teams finish the four-game series tonight. A win and Milwaukee will finish 7-4 on road trip and 3-1 against the Cubs.
To do that, however, Milwaukee will need 29-year-old Jason Alexander to come through in his first-ever MLB appearance.
The righty has spent the past couple months with Milwaukee’s top affiliate in Nashville. Over nine outings — seven starts — Alexander has a solid 2.64 ERA through 47 2/3 innings.
