Tyler Wagner, who never experienced pitching at home during the 47 games he was with Class AA Biloxi this season, will make his major-league debut at home for the Brewers on Sunday.
Did he think about the irony of that?
"Yeah," he said Saturday. "It's going to be my first home start of the year, technically. But, you know, I'm just grateful for the opportunity."
It's an opportunity not many players get, jumping from the Class AA level to the big leagues. But the Brewers felt Wagner was most deserving of any of their pitching prospects after going 5-1 with a 2.
