Brewers are home for one before heading back to Pennsylvania. The Giants announced they are pitching Sam Long as a spot starter. Long hasn’t thrown more than 31 pitches in his previous four appearances this season, so he’ll likely only go a couple innings in what should become a bullpen game for San Francisco.
Credit to Giants thus far for sort of picking up where they left off last season. I don’t know if it’s the fancy hitting machines, their dozen plus coaches, or something else entirely, but they seem to be onto something.
The only Brewers hitter that has previously faced Sam Long is Andrew McCutchen (0-for-3).
