Kelly Seeks Rebound in Milwaukee

0:00It's April 28th, Milwaukee Brewers news today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. Diamondbacks rolling into Milwaukee for the series opener against the Brewers with Merrill Kelly on the mound facing Chad Patrick. Adrienne Del Castillo is back in the lineup at designated hitter after dislocating his finger down in Mexico, but Gerardo Predomo sits with a twisted ankle from that same trip. Jose Fernandez slides over to shortstop for his second straight start there, drawing on his minor league days at the position even though he's been at. First face lately, he racked up 22 errors over 104 games last year in Amarillo, so it's not his strongest spot, but the team needs bodies. Predomo was out there taking grounders today, which is a good sign he might not be out too long. Meanwhile, Kelly's looking to shake off a nightmare start against the White Sucks, his first time ever coughing up eight or more earned runs, plus double-digit hits in just 4.1 innings. That outing tied his third worst game score and was the ugliest of his career.

1:04At Chase Field, with 13 base runners via 10 hits and 3 walks. Brewers sit dead last in the National League Central, despite a winning record more than a month in, thanks to barely any divisional matchups only. 20 out of 141 games among the five teams. This inner league series won't budge those standings, but it sets up some fun watching Kelly rebound.
