Edmonds back in Brewers lineup
Outfielder Jim Edmonds is still nursing a sore Achilles, but he’s back in the lineup as the Brewers try to avoid a three-game Astros sweep. Manager Ken Macha would like to begin using Edmonds more, assuming his health holds up, and is tentatively planning to test him as a starter today, tomorrow in Chicago and again Wednesday.
The Brewers certainly need his bat. They haven’t scored in 23 consecutive innings entering today, and are 0-for-20 with runners in scoring position in those innings.
Here’s the full lineup:
Rickie Weeks 2B
Corey Hart RF
Prince Fielder 1B
Ryan Braun LF
Casey McGehee 3B
Jim Edmonds CF
Alcides Escobar SS
George Kottaras C
Randy Wolf LHP
