Below we have a Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds series preview including team news, probable starting pitchers, as well as an injury report. This is the first meeting of the season between the two division opponents.
Milwaukee Brewers (29-27) News
The Brewers had a dreadful month of May. They won just two out of nine series in the month of May, are in desperate need of a hot streak, and for some players to get healthy. Despite all of this they currently find themselves on top of a weak National League Central with a half game lead over the Pirates. Owen Miller has been the team’s hottest hitter. They need players like Christian Yelich and Rowdy Tellez to step up. Willy Adames is currently on the IL after recovering from a hit to the head from a foul ball.
Cincinnati Reds (26-30) News
News out of Cincinnati these days revolves around top prospect Elly De La Cruz. His play in the minor league has most thinking that a major league call up is right around the corner. His promotion and prospect hype does leave question marks as to where former Rookie of the Year Jonathan India fits in. Despite this, the Reds have won seven out of their last ten and are just three games back of the Brewers in the division.
