The Brewers open a six-game road trip tonight with the first of three in Tampa against the Rays at George Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees’ spring training park. (If you want to know why Tampa under normal circumstances would play in a dome, check the weather for the weekend, and cross your fingers that the Brewers get all of these games in.) Check out our series preview here.
A couple of roster moves were made since the Brewers played on Wednesday. The first is that Elvin Rodríguez was sent back to Triple-A Nashville after throwing 3 1⁄3 innings on Wednesday; he was replaced on the roster by Bryan Hudson, who is still looking to regain the form he flashed for half of last season.
