After a pitching implosion led to a 7-3 extra-innings loss Tuesday night, Adrian Houser and the Brewers look to right the ship in the rubber match against the Rockies this afternoon.

Today’s Brewers lineup features a few changes compared to the starting nine against left-hander Kyle Freeland last night.

Willy Adames returns after a two-day mental break. Sal Frelick is also back in right field with right-hander Chris Flexen on the mound for Colorado. Carlos Santana misses a second straight game with an illness, once again pushing Mark Canha to first base. Finally, Joey Wiemer was scratched with a stomach virus, opening up a start for Blake Perkins in center field.
