I’m going to be honest guys... I’m worried about Bruce Zimmermann. Zimmermann has allowed 14 home runs in his last six starts. That number does not exactly inspire confidence entering a matchup against guys like Vlad Jr. or George Springer.
The home run barrage has come after Zimmermann allowed only one long ball in his first six starts. The 27-year-old has struggled with his command but will have another opportunity to right the ship tonight.
Kyle Stowers will reenter the lineup after sitting last night. Stowers picked up his first hit and first RBI in his debut against the Jays on Monday.
