Brewers battle Braves, and very little about the series will be normal
Including a Cy Young showdown, strange start times, a battle for NL superiority and a trip to Pennsylvania, the Braves-Brewers series has a lot.
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series from August 21-23, a unique matchup for the two top teams in the National League. The series will feature a game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as the Brewers seek a season-long tiebreaker with the Dodgers. Both teams will have to fly to and from Pennsylvania on Sunday, with the game starting at 6:10 p.m. CT.
The first two games will be broadcast on Brewers.TV and ESPN, with radio coverage on AM-620 WTMJ. Friday's game features Chris Sale pitching against Jacob Misiorowski, two Cy Young contenders vying for supremacy. Saturday's game starts earlier due to the need to travel for Sunday's special event, and the Brewers will celebrate Black Culture Fest before the game.
The Sunday game in Pennsylvania is a Little League Classic event, a first for the Brewers in a special neutral-site game produced by MLB.
