Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:
Hunter Baumgardt: “Great news: Garrett Mitchell is in the lineup after leaving Sunday’s game with a forearm contusion. Jake Bauers not in the lineup, though, and neither is Yelich against the lefty.”
@StatLineBB: “Milwaukee’s limited history against Zac Thornton has produced three hits in 19 at-bats and no home runs. Can the Brewers change that story tonight?”
@MarkWhalen: “Best lineup of the year!”
