Rhys Hoskins, the Brewers' first baseman, has shown consistency over the past three games. Despite a .200 batting average in one game, his overall performance has been solid.

On the other side, Justyn-Henry Malloy of the Tigers has been nothing short of impressive. In one standout game, he boasted a .667 batting average and an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 2.334, including a home run that showcased his power-hitting capabilities. This exceptional performance makes him a player to watch in the upcoming game.

Christian Yelich and Blake Perkins have also made significant contributions to the Brewers. Yelich maintained a perfect fielding percentage (FPCT) and hit an impressive 1.000 average in one game, while Perkins achieved a .750 batting average with an OPS of 2.5 in another game, highlighting their importance to the team's strategy.


For the Tigers, Zachary McKinstry is another player who cannot be overlooked. Achieving a 1.000 batting average and an OPS of 2.0 in one game underscores his potential impact on the field.
