Brewers vs Royals: Patrick vs Avila

0:00It's April 3rd. This is Milwaukee Brewers News today, driven by AI your team, nonstop. The Milwaukee Brewers hit the road for the first time this season, after a strong 5-in-1 homestand, facing the Kansas City Royals tonight at Kaufman Stadium. Chad Patrick takes the mound for Milwaukee, while Lewandar Avela makes his first career star for Kansas City after solid relief work last year. Lewandar could play a factor, so expect possible delays around 6.45 p.m. start time. Brewers swept the wide socks to open things up, then grabbed two of three from the raise, with plenty of close calls. Royals dropped two of three in Atlanta, but bounced back by taking two from the twins at home. Both squads looking to build momentum early. Patrick's last outing wasn't his sharpest. He gave up one run over four and a third innings with four strikeouts in just one walk, but tough contact. Ended it early. Milwaukee stacks lefty bats against the righty Avela, sliding David Hamilton to short,

1:01Louise Rengafo to third, and surprising with Brandon Lockridge in. Left. Royals beat your old Brewers pal Isaac Collins and star Bobby Whit Jr. batting second. Off the field, Milwaukee finalized Prospect Cooper Pratt's extension, added him to the 40-man roster, and optioned him to triple a Nashville. They designated Stuart Burrowa for assignment to make room. Catch the game exclusively on Apple TV if you subscribe, or tune in to the Brewers Radio Network otherwise.
