Rotation candidate Matt Andriese was so efficient in his four innings that he needed to throw 30 more pitches in the bullpen after departing his start against the Brewers. He only threw 37 in the game. Manager Joe Maddon was impressed by Andriese’s handling of Milwaukee’s lineup, which featured 2018 MVP Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun, Lorenzo Cain and Keston Hiura. Andriese allowed two hits. He has given up one run in nine innings. … Now, nearly two years removed from Tommy John surgery, Keynan Middleton is back to lighting up radar guns. He has consistently fired 95-mph fastballs this spring, and Maddon believes he will add at least 2 mph in the regular season.
