Bit of a weird lineup today since the Brewers are facing lefty Zach Duke; Jeff Cirillo is starting at third and hitting second, with Bill Hall dropping back down to sixth.
Incidentally, Victor Santos was supposed to start today and Duke tomorrow, but they switched after Santos was pressed into duty during the Pirates' 18-inning marathon the other night against the Astros.
Sean Casey will be making his first appearance since April 14, just coming off the disabled list after fracturing parts of back, which is never good. All of the (hopefully many) Brewers hitters that reach first base will no doubt be grateful for his jocularity.
Go Crushers!
