Game Thread #45: Milwaukee Brewers (26-18) @ Houston Astros (20-25)

The Milwaukee Brewers are back at it tonight in Houston, taking on the Astros at Minute Maid Park at 6:10 p.m. Bryse Wilson will be on the hill for Milwaukee, with former MVP, Rookie of the Year, and three-time Cy Young Award winner (and current 41-year-old man) Justin Verlander pitching for Houston.

The Brewers lost a heartbreaker last night, a back-and-forth game where big home runs continuously changed the game’s momentum. Tonight, Verlander will try to keep his good start to the season going: he was banged up to start the season and didn’t debut until April 19, but in five starts he holds a 3.38 ERA in 29 1/3 innings, and he’s coming off his best start of the year on Sunday, in which he threw seven shutout innings and allowed only two hits.

For the Brewers, Bryse Wilson will make his sixth start and 12th appearance of the season. He’s been a lifesaver for a banged-up rotation and has slotted seamlessly into a starting role after serving as the bullpen’s long man last season and at the beginning of this year. As sample sizes become more robust, it’s worth pointing out that Wilson now holds a 2.60 ERA (164 ERA+) in 110 ²⁄₃ innings as a Brewer.

There are a couple of small changes in Milwaukee’s lineup today, as Gary Sánchez goes to the bench, Christian Yelich moves to DH, and Blake Perkins enters the lineup and plays center field (with last night’s center fielder, Sal Frelick, moving to right). Joey Ortiz, who has been one of baseball’s best players lately, will look to stay hot: Curt Hogg notes that in the last three weeks, Ortiz is second (to Aaron Judge) in wRC+. Hogg has another fun note before today’s game:

First pitch at 6:10 p.m. on Bally Sports Wisconsin and the Brewers Radio Network.

Stolen Oak Creek couple’s car found by viewer dumped near Milwaukee apartment complex

MILWAUKEE — An Oak Creek couple’s stolen car has been found after a viewer who saw a report on the theft spotted it near a south side Milwaukee apartment complex.

Melinna Posey said the ordeal began when her car was stolen and she turned to social media for help. A person who responded claimed to have the vehicle and demanded money for its return. The person messaging even taunted her, discarding some of the items inside the car.

Personal items were inside the vehicle, including the family’s car seat, stroller, cameras and photos.

“It’s been very stressful, especially for him. It’s his vehicle, it’s in his name,” Posey said.

I spoke to Posey on Tuesday. Since then, she and Tyler Dusenberry had been searching for the car. On Thursday, the couple received a message from someone who saw the story on TMJ4. That person found the car at a south side Milwaukee apartment complex and shared pictures of the red Dodge Durango SRT between trees and a building, covered in tarps.

“I didn’t believe the text message at first today, and then he sent pictures of the car, and I was like, thank the lord, I was like thank you so much,” Posey said.

“It’s a roller coaster that’s what it’s been,” Dusenberry said.

Oak Creek Police picked up the car and are processing it for evidence. The family has not yet been able to see the inside of the vehicle or what, if anything, was left behind.

The family said they are grateful to everyone who helped them this week, but said the entire experience will be tough to get over.

“It’s just unfortunate that this all happened, and we had a lot of memories and trips within that vehicle so it’s just a little life-changing to be honest,” Dusenberry said.

,000 worth of Milwaukee tools stolen in Plover

PLOVER, Wis. (WBAY) – Police in the western part of the state are spreading the word after someone stole over $95,000 worth of Milwaukee-brand tools. Police are concerned that they’ll be sold online or sold outside the state.

Milwaukee-brand tools were stolen from a trailer at a solar farm in Plover.

Police say there were 130 items, including more than 40 half-inch impact guns, multiple wire cutters, grease guns, 80 batteries, and a couple of small generators.

Investigators are warning that buyers who purchase stolen items can have them seized and could lose their money or even face criminal charges if they knew the property was stolen.
