Rex Brothers Putting Together Strong Audition for Bullpen Spot

Rex Brothers sounds like a family-owned auto body shop, but he’s actually a pitcher whose mechanics are better suited to re-tiring hitters than cars. That was the case as of 2015, anyway, but the 32-year-old lefty is making an improbable push for a spot in the bullpen after another strong outing in which he struck out four White Sox over two innings Friday afternoon. With 11 strikeouts and three walks through six innings, Brothers may be turning back the clock.

Best known to baseball fans in general for his time with the Rockies, some of you may actually remember his brief stint with the Cubs as well.
