Brewers Face Ex-Teammates in KC Series

On April 3rd, Brewer's fans heads up, the team's rolling into Kansas City this Friday,

April 3rd, for a three-game series against the Royals.

It's a reunion with two dudes they traded away in the offseason.

Outfielder Isaac Collins and reliever Nick Mears both flipped for Lefty Pitcher.

Angel Zurpa.

Those guys held Milwaukee snagged the division title and pushed to the NLCS last year,

but now they're repping KC early in the season.

Nick Mears has been sharp out the pen for the Royals.

He added a two-scene fastball and change-up during the winter, building on his Milwaukee mix.

And just two innings, he's given up one hit, Fanned 3, and kept it clean.

Last season, he posted a 3.49 ERA over 57 innings with the Brew Crew after they grabbed him from Colorado.

Isaac Collins, who finished 4th in O'Rookie of the Year voting, is holding it down and left field.

He's 3 for 15 to start, with a double, a homer, three walks, and got blunt once.

That's a solid point, 368 on-base clip.

He swiped 16 bags last year with a 0.779 OPS, locking in as Milwaukee's everyday guy.

Meanwhile, that Angel Zurpa trade piece is shining for the Brewers.

The 26-year-old South Pole tossed three scoreless innings across his first three outings, allowing two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts.

He had a 4.18 ERA in 65 innings with Kansas City last year, and balled out in the World Baseball Classic for Venezuela.

As these squats clash, it'll be wild watching Collins and Mears face their old squad, could spark some fire in this early match-up.
