VIDEO: FORMER BREWERS FAN-FAVORITE TIM DILLARD RETURNS TO MILWAUKEE LANCE ALLAN – TMJ4 MILWAUKEE – THURSDAY, AUGUST 20 th LINK: https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/former-brewers-fan-favorite-tim-dillard-returns-to-milwaukee GOLDEYES FACE OFF WITH MILKMEN WINNIPEG SUN – TUESDAY, AUGUST 18 th There is nothing skim about the Milwaukee Milkmen’s starting rotation. The second-year franchise has taken full advantage of the American Association’s relaxed 2020 roster rules, and the Milkmen boast four former Major Leaguers in their starting five. The Goldeyes open a stretch of six consecutive games against the Milkmen at Franklin Field tonight. The two clubs sit atop the American Association standings, but it has taken until nearly two-thirds of the way through the season for them to face each other head-to-head. David Holmberg starts Wednesday for Milwaukee, and pitched four seasons in the Majors with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago White Sox. The left-hander is second in the American Association with a 2.70 ERA, and leads the league with 49 strikeouts. Holmberg is known for an excellent curveball that sits in the low 70s, but has above average spin for that velocity. Right-hander Henderson Alvarez was a National League All-Star for the Miami Marlins in 2014, and finished 12 th in the NL’s Cy Young Race that same season.
