The Brewers continue their interleague road trip in Detroit, assuming the weather cooperates. The last time they visited Michigan, they participated in an eventful series-- after being no-hit by Justin Verlander, they won a season-turning game on a Bill Hall homer. Hopefully things are a bit less tumultuous this time around.

Armando Galarraga has not been particularly effective so far this year. He has a 5.66 ERA, 5.92 FIP, and has walked more and struck out fewer batters than in his effective season a year ago. His slider, which was very effective a year ago, has not been as strong this season. He is throwing harder this year, with an average velocity around 91 mph.

Lineup:

2B Craig Counsell

DH Casey McGehee

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

RF Corey Hart

CF Mike Cameron

SS J.J. Hardy

3B Mat Gamel

C Jason Kendall

After the off day we'll reset the bullpen rest situation. I'll only list the pitchers who threw on Wednesday:

  • Seth McClung pitched 2 1/3 innings (48 pitches)
  • Trevor Hoffman pitched 2/3 of an inning (12 pitches)
  • Mark DiFelice pitched 1 1/3 innings (16 pitches)
  • Mitch Stetter pitched 2/3 of an inning (20 pitches)

Gametime is scheduled for 6:05, but we'll follow the weather. Go Brewers!
