The two teams have split the first two games of the series in Milwaukee. The Brewers remain in first place in the division and Sunday won’t change that as they hold a big lead over the other four teams, but the Cincinnati Reds outcome could move them up or down a spot. Today’s first pitch is at 2:10pm ET. The game is also MLB.tv’s Free Game of the Day.
Starting Lineup
Starting Pitchers
Frankie Montas
After having the best start of his season on June 4th in Colorado, Frankie Montas returned on the 9th and couldn’t get out of the 2nd inning against Chicago and was charged with four earned runs.
The splits this year are pretty big for Montas. He’s pitched quite well against right-handed hitters, holding them to a .599 OPS. But left-handed hitters are performing quite well against him. They walk at a good rate, make a lot of contact, and they hit for a good amount of power. Not shown below are his home and road splits. While his ERA is similar-ish, six of his seven home runs he’s allowed this year have come on the road despite making two fewer starts.
Splits
| Split | PA | H | 2B | 3B | HR | BB | K | AVG | OBP | SLG |
| RHH | 113 | 21 | 6 | 0 | 2 | 9 | 24 | .204 | .274 | .320 |
| LHH | 131 | 33 | 7 | 0 | 5 | 14 | 20 | .290 | .382 | .483 |
Pitch Usage
| 4-seam | 2-seam | Cutter | Slider | Split | |
| Velo | 95.5 | 94.4 | 90.0 | 85.1 | 85.8 |
| Usage | 36% | 15% | 16% | 12% | 21% |
Colin Rea
In the middle of may, Colin Rea went through a short rough patch, but he’s rebounded well. In his last four outings he’s posted a 1.64 ERA in 22.0 innings and has allowed just 15 hits and two home runs.
Similar to Montas, Rea has pretty big splits. He’s been very good against right-handed hitters as he’s held them to a .571 OPS this season. Lefties, though, have hit well. They make a lot of contact, hit for a lot of power, and have a good average against him. His ERA at home is 2.72 (3.93 on the road), but he’s allowed twice as many home runs in Milwaukee as he has on the road (6-to-3).
Splits
| Split | PA | H | 2B | 3B | HR | BB | K | AVG | OBP | SLG |
| RHH | 138 | 27 | 7 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 21 | .209 | .261 | .310 |
| LHH | 163 | 39 | 9 | 1 | 7 | 15 | 27 | .265 | .337 | .483 |
