Game Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers scored a 2-0 win in the first encounter of a four-game series against their division rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. These two teams sit at the top of the NL Central, though St. Louis is now 2-4 on a road trip that opened with a 2-1 series loss to the Boston Red Sox last weekend. The Brewers look better overall, but the Cardinals are by far the better offensive team. That’s what makes this matchup so exciting to watch as both teams are racing for a first-place finish.
Jack Flaherty is making his 2nd start after a right shoulder injury that delayed his season debut until June 15 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He only made 2 rehab starts in the minors and still continues to be on a limited pitch count for this start. Last year against the Milwaukee Brewers, Flaherty racked up some good numbers as he pitched a total of 13 innings and only gave away 2 runs on 9 hits and 4 walks while striking out a whopping 15 over 3 appearances.
On the other side, Chi Gonzalez is making his first start of the season for the Milwaukee Brewers. He is holding a 7.71 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP over 7 innings pitched, which looks like a rough start of a season. Gonzalez was scooped up by the Brewers about 1 week ago and he’s already being thrown into action.
This is looking like a tough pitching matchup for the Brewers, and considering just how good Flaherty looked last year against them, it wouldn’t be crazy to see the Cardinals turning the series around in this game. We can expect the Brewers offense to really struggle, unless Flaherty ends up having difficulties after not having the proper rehabilitation.
