Brewers Rally Sets Up Gasser vs. Yamamoto Start

Overview

• The Brewers opened the Los Angeles series with a ninth-inning, three-run comeback to take the opener and seize early momentum.
• Milwaukee has confirmed Robert Gasser as tonight’s starter for the Brewers and Los Angeles will counter with ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
• Gasser carries a 4.57 ERA this season and has not allowed more than three runs in a start since the All-Star break, while Yamamoto has a 2.65 ERA, 127 strikeouts in 21 starts and threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his last outing.
• The Brewers placed reliever Abner Uribe on the injured list with a right forearm flexor strain after images came back clean, and they recalled Grant Anderson to fill his roster spot.
• Brice Turang is day-to-day, Sal Frelick hit a homer on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville, Cooper Pratt should need only a near-minimum IL stint, and the club shuffled its lineup with Garrett Mitchell leading off and Jake Bauers at first; first pitch is 9:10 p.m. on Brewers.TV and the Brewers Radio Network.
