Jason Hammel

3-3 | 3.71

Hammel pounded the strike zone early but fell apart late in his last start against the Padres, yielding six runs in 6 1/3 innings, all of which came after the third inning. The right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.95 ERA in his career against the Brewers.

Zack Greinke

2-1 | 6.60

Greinke was again brilliant in the early innings Sunday before fading. He allowed all five of his runs and all six of his hits in a fifth inning that began with a 12-pitch at-bat by Pittsburgh's Neil Walker, who homered.

Nice to see Mike Rivera back. If he hits the ball hard once, he'll have outdone Nieves offensively. It'll be interesting to see what Greinke does against a pretty good offense, unlike Pittsburgh and San Diego. Carlos Gonzalez being DTD should help. I wouldn't mind if he was out three days and then back healthy by Monday.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Sigh of relief that Braun is playing, and Rivera over Nieves makes me incredibly happy. This seems to be the nail in the coffin for Nieves.

From McCalvy;

 

I wouldn’t read too much into Jonathan Lucroy not starting; he was struck in the left wrist by a relay throw last night but told me after the game he was fine. Roenicke said before yesterday’s game that he was considering giving Lucroy a day off.

[owbc]

First game of the year for me tonight, I'm visiting Milwaukee for a week. I'm looking forward to seeing Greinke and the new scoreboard--feels like Opening Day again :-)

Good to see Braun in the lineup tonight and very strange to see Mike Rivera back.

Expecting a big night from Gomez, he seems to do well at Miller Park and he just had a few days to clear his mind.

[endaround]

Given the time difference and late flight this is almost a day game after a night game so Lucroy not going isn't so surprising

[ilovebeer]

Very happy to see Braun in the lineup. I hope the players are not to tired from there all night flight. It is good to get to earlier start times/

[stoutdude04]

Helton out of the lineup for Col. as well.

[ilovebeer]

Glad Gomes is batting 8th and nice to see Helton out of the Colorado lineup.

[ilovebeer]

The roof is open.

[logan82]

Good lineup. Now keep making lineups like this.

[ilovebeer]

The roof is now closed.

From the Brewers Facebook, a new sign has been posted at the home plate entrance to let the fans know the day's starting lineup. Pretty cool:

very nice Zack

[ilovebeer]

wow what a first inning for Zack 9 pitch inning 2 K's

[pebadger]

The Brewers just tear it up offensively at Miller Park. No way that double falls in on the road.

[uwbufu24]

Is this game not on dish network in hd? Not on 446 and see it only on 449.

[UeckerAddict]

With that bunt, it's obvious we really wanted to get out of the goose egg column.

[chickinbrickin]

Finally they get a run in with a guy on third and 1 out

[COBrewerfan]

Getting that goose egg off the board as early as possible was big. Like that play after being shutout. Sometimes that can get the pressure off and get things going.

[ilovebeer]

Cool, we have a early lead.

[UeckerAddict]

Red Sox are roughing up Sharpie.

[Glennron]

Finally they get a run in with a guy on third and 1 out

Although it's funny to me it was a ground ball to the left side. If the infield was in for some reason, Weeks might've been out.

[ttsather]

Love the run, dislike the validation for Corey Hart bunting.

[theavrock]

Wow crazy inning. 1 run and 2 hits, but only 13 pitches. 6 of which were by our #5 hitter.
