Brewers close out 2017 home slate against Reds

With the postseason still a possibility, the Milwaukee Brewers close out the regular-season portion of their 2017 schedule this afternoon against the Cincinnati Reds at Miller Park.

First baseman Eric Thames is sidelined for at least today after fouling a ball off his right shin in the ninth inning of last night's shutout loss, leaving Neil Walker to start at first base.

Manny Piña remains out as well with his sprained left thumb, although he did report progress with it after catching a bullpen session this morning.

Brent Suter takes the mound for the Brewers, and he'll be countered by right-hander Sal Romano.
