Brewers vs White Sox: Misiorowski's Opening Day Start

On March 26, it's opening day for the Milwaukee Brewers as they host the Chicago White

Sox this afternoon.

Right-hander Jacob Misiorowski takes the mound for his first career opening day start

after a solid rookie year that included some standout, performances against top competition.

For Chicago, it's Shane Smith on the Hill, a former Brewers prospect who earned an all-star

nod last season with a strong earned run average.

Misiorowski steps up as Milwaukee's top starter now, aiming to build on his previous

highs despite some ups and downs.

Smith meanwhile, moved to the White Sox via the Rule 5 draft and quickly proved his value

with consistent outings over nearly 30 starts.

The Brewers will feel the absence of outfielder, Jackson Turio, sideline for 2-4 weeks with

a fractured left hand from spring training.

That opens a spot for Blake Perkins, called up from Triple A while Jake Bauer shifts

to left field after a scorching spring with plenty of power.

Leading off for Bryce Turang, William Contreras and Christian Yellich, serving as a designated

hitter.

Andrew Vaughn hits cleanup against his old team that drafted him third overall, followed

by the hot hitting bowers with South Frellick, David Hamilton.

At third, Garrett Mitchell and Joy Ortiz filling out the order.

First pitch comes at 1-10pm, available on Brewers.tv for video and WTMJ 620, or the

Brewers Radio Network for audio with a fan tool.
