Colin Rea To Work Behind Opener On Tuesday
6 months agoMilwaukee Brewers right-hander Colin Rea will work behind an opener on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies on the road. It's unclear who the Brewers will use as the opener after going with Jared Koenig on Monday. Rea, 33, worked as the team's bulk reliever behind Koenig on May 25 against the Boston Red Sox and allowed two earned runs with three walks and two strikeouts in 5 2/3 frames in a win. In his last outing on May 30 against the Chicago Cubs, Rea had a no-decision while working 5 1/3 frames and allowing one earned run on one walk and five K's. Rea has had a solid campaign thus far for the Brew Crew, going 4-2 with a 3.77 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 42 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings over 11 outings (10 starts), but the matchup on Tuesday against the Phils on the road is one to fade him in.
