The Brewers opened a three game series against the Philadelphia Phillies today at American

Family Field.

After today, the Brewers and Phillies have tomorrow off and will play the last two games

of the series on Wednesday and Thursday.

Right now, it's in the top of the 7th inning with 1 out, actually with 2 out now, and

the score is tied at 6 each.

And you can hear the broadcast of that game right now on WRC, 107.7 and AM 1450.

Wauki Brewer's shortstop, Jory Ortiz, has returned from a short stint on the injured

list after dealing with a strange left hamstring.

The Brewers recalled Ortiz from the injured list and also recalled right hander, reliever

Craig Yo from Triple A Nashville before today's game with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Ortiz was hitting 233 with a 284 on base percentage, 7 homers and 43 RBIs and 11 steals

in 125 games when he went on the injured list on October 22nd.

He added 343 with an 830 OPS in the month of August.

In Fielder Luis Urias has signed a minor league contract with Wauki Brewer's after getting

released by the athletics.

The Brewers announced yesterday they had signed Urias.

He will join their Triple A Nashville affiliate today.

The athletics designated Urias for assignment and eventually released them last week.

The 28 year old Urias had batted 230 with a 315 on base percentage, 8 homers, 25 RBIs

and 2 steals in 96 games with the athletics of the season.

Urias played for the Brewers from 20 to 23.

He had 23 homers and 75 RBIs, I should say, for the Brewers in 2021.

Mike Parsons' arrival in Green Bay has his new Packers teammates believing any goal is

realistic.

Parsons practiced with his new teammates for the first time today.

Green Bay acquired the superstar edge rusher on Thursday in a deal that sent three time

bowl-prol defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first drawn picks to the Dallas Cowboys.

Green Bay faces a time crunch trying to get Parsons ready for the start of the season.

The Packers have two home games in a span of 5 days against 2024 and a C playoffs teams.

They hosted Detroit on Sunday and Washington the following Thursday.

And Mike Parsons will wear uniform number one during the 2025 season.

The defensive superstar will become the first to wear the number since curly lambo.

Parsons considered asking to wear zero, a number no other Green Bay Packer has worn.

He met the media on Friday.

Parsons told reporters he's coming out of the most difficult off season of his life.

He says he didn't really think the Cowboys would trade him.

His arrival improves the Packers chances of making it to the Super Bowl.

And he missed most of the season opener but did return to the sidelines after an injury.

That indicates the time he takes to return to action may be shorter for Badgers quarterback

Billy Edwards, Jr.

No timetable has been established.

The Wisconsin defense was dominant in the 2025 season opener.

A 17 did nothing shut out of Miami, Ohio and a five game losing streak for the program.

The Badgers are back on the home turf on Saturday.

When middle Tennessee, I should say arrives for a non conference game WRC Sports has been
