The roof will be open for a night game for the first time this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Brewers made a transaction prior to the game, placing Logan Henderson on the 15-day IL with low back tightness. RHP Coleman Crow was recalled to the active roster to take his place. Pat Murphy confirmed that Crow will pitch on Friday against the Astros. Meanwhile, Wednesday\u2019s starter is still TBA, but Murphy said that the finale against the Cardinals will be covered by \u201ca combination of guys already on the roster.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Henderson told reporters that he felt his back tighten up while facing Freddie Freeman in the fourth inning during his last start. He\u2019s hoping to return to throwing soon and is already starting to make a little bit of progress in his recovery, but not enough to be able to make his start tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the game tonight, Kyle Harrison is on the mound for the Crew, looking to continue his stretch of dominance. Harrison hasn\u2019t allowed a run in either of his past two starts and hasn\u2019t allowed more than two earned runs in a single start all season. Over Harrison\u2019s last five starts, he\u2019s allowed just three runs over 28 IP, good for a 0.96 ERA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On the other side, the Cardinals will have Michael McGreevy. McGreevy has a 2.40 ERA in his 10 starts. He doesn\u2019t miss a lot of bats with just 5.9 K\/9, but he also doesn\u2019t walk many either, posting 1.9 BB\/9 so far. We can expect a lot more contact than we saw in Monday\u2019s game when both starters had 10-plus strikeouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Pat Murphy is shaking up the Brewers lineup as well with Christian Yelich in the leadoff spot, bumping Jackson Chourio down to the two-spot. Brice Turang, William Contreras, Jake Bauers, and Garrett Mitchell make up the middle of the order. Luis Rengifo, Sal Frelick, and David Hamilton round out the bottom of the lineup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Cardinals are keeping the top of their lineup pretty similar, with JJ Wetherholt leading off, followed by Iv\u00e1n Herrera, Jordan Walker, and Alec Burleson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Brewers have a great opportunity to extend their lead in the NL Central even further. The Brewers have won their last six games when Harrison has started. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m. on Brewers.TV and the Brewerse Radio Network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off a series-opening win, the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals are back at it on Tuesday night.
