Brewers and Cubs Ready for a Duel at Mesa's Sloan Park

As the Milwaukee Brewers prepare to face off against the Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park in Mesa, fans are eager to see how their team will perform following recent games. The Brewers, who will be playing as the away team on March 23rd, have shown a mix of outcomes in their preseason matchups.

In their last game against the Seattle Mariners, despite collecting only five hits and committing three errors, they managed to score four runs. However, this was not enough to secure a win. Their hitting average stood at .161 with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .278 and slugging percentage (SLG) of .290. The bullpen showed promise with an earned run average (ERA) of 1.929 over 4.2 innings pitched but ultimately suffered a blown save.

The previous game saw better offensive production from the Brewers as they tallied ten hits and scored eleven runs against the Kansas City Royals. They improved their hitting average significantly to .303 with an OBP of .410 and SLG of .545. This offensive surge was backed by solid bullpen performance that held an ERA of 4.5 over six innings.

However, consistency remains an issue as evidenced by another prior game versus the San Francisco Giants where they recorded six runs on five hits but also made one error in fielding. The pitching staff struggled with a high ERA of 6 over nine innings pitched.

The upcoming game at Sloan Park presents another opportunity for the Brewers' hitters and pitchers to find their rhythm before regular season play begins. Fans can expect them to focus on reducing errors while capitalizing on scoring opportunities when runners are in scoring position.

The scheduled game time is set for March 23rd at 1:05 PM MST, and fans can catch all the action live on BSWI network.
