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. In September of 2013, Alvarez pitched a no-hitter over the Detroit Tigers. The Venezuela native made one appearance for the Milkmen earlier this month before having his contract purchased by the Pittsburgh Pirates. However, Alvarez recently announced via his Twitter account that the deal with the Pirates fell through, and he is expected to face Winnipeg on Thursday. Alvarez’s very first pitch with the Milkmen on August 5 th was clocked at 98 mph. Drew Hutchison has five years of Big League experience under his belt, and won 13 games for the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays squad that reached Game Six of the American League Championship Series. Hutchison has also pitched for the Pirates, Texas Rangers, and Philadelphia Phillies. The 29-year- old has made two starts thus far for the Milkmen, pitching to a 3.60 ERA. Sidearm right-hander Tim Dillard has gained as much notoriety for his social media persona as he has his baseball career. Now 37 years of age, Dillard has entertained fans of all ages and teams with his sometimes crude, but always good-natured, light-hearted, and self-deprecating sense of humour. Dillard spent four seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers from 2008-12. His father, Steve, spent eight years in the Majors in the 1970s and 1980s. Hutchison and Dillard are projected to face the Goldeyes this weekend. HISTORY REVISITED As noteworthy as the quartet of former Major Leaguers may be, the Goldeyes have the greatest connection with tonight’s Milkmen starter. Right-hander Ryan Kussmaul will oppose Goldeyes’ right-hander Frank Duncan. During the 2017 postseason, Kussmaul served as the closer for the Wichita Wingnuts, and was on the mound in the bottom of the ninth of Game Four of the American Association Championship Series. With two outs, Kussmaul induced a groundball to third base from Goldeyes’ second baseman Casey Turgeon. The play was completed, and the Wingnuts erupted in celebration on the Shaw Park diamond. However, Kussmaul was charged with a balk for having not come to a complete stop before the pitch to Turgeon. The celebration was halted, and two pitches later, Turgeon smacked a double to left-centre that tied the game and saved the Goldeyes’ season. Winnipeg went on to win 4-3 in 17 innings in what turned into the longest game in American Association history at five hours and 59 minutes. Two nights later, the Goldeyes blasted Wichita 18-2 to win a second consecutive championship. Kussmaul has been effective for the most part in 2020, allowing three or fewer earned runs in four of his past five starts. The Wisconsin native ranks sixth in the American Association with 43 strikeouts in just 39.0 innings. UP NEXT The matchup of the top two teams in the American Association begins tonight at 6:35 p.m. Winnipeg will serve as the home team Friday through Sunday. The game can be heard on 93.7 FM.
