Game Preview:
The Chicago White Sox kick off a three-game home series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night, looking to reset after a rocky start to the season.
Chicago has dropped 21 of its first 28 games, but the team has shown signs of life when the offense clicks, going 5-1 when scoring five or more runs. They'll look to generate that kind of production against a Brewers club trying to find consistency on the road.
Milwaukee sits at 14-15 and is just 5-11 in away games. However, the Brewers have proven dangerous when the bats get going — posting a 12-2 record when they outhit their opponents.
Starting Pitchers:
-
Brewers: Freddy Peralta (2-2, 2.43 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 36 K)
Peralta has been a bright spot in Milwaukee's rotation, delivering strikeouts and limiting damage across his first five starts. -
White Sox: Bryse Wilson (0-0, 4.30 ERA, 1.84 WHIP, 10 K)
Wilson has been used flexibly by the White Sox and will look to keep Milwaukee’s offense in check despite a high WHIP.

White Sox:
Andrew Benintendi has belted four home runs and driven in nine runs on the season.
Luis Robert Jr. is looking to break out of a recent slump, going just 6-for-36 over his last 10 games but has shown pop with two home runs. -
Brewers:
