Jordan Schafer will look to continue his strong start to the season as the Astros travel to Milwaukee to begin a series with the Brewers.
Coming off a season-high 12 runs on Sunday, the Houston Astros will look to keep the bats going when they take on the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.
Driving Sunday's offensive outburst was Jordan Schafer. The Astros center fielder was 1-for-4 with a grand slam that blew the game open in the second inning. The 25-year-old ex-Brave has been a bright spot so far for the Astros as he's started the year with a .263 average, 13 runs, seven RBI and six steals.
Schafer and the rest of the Astros starters, though, have had little success in their career against Zack Greinke. In three starts against Houston, Greinke has three wins and a 1.71 ERA.
