Toronto Blue Jays vs Milwaukee Brewers: Starting Lineup - Game 2 Preview

Toronto Blue Jays strikeout artist Dylan Cease will toe the rubber tonight versus Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Chad Patrick.

First Pitch is at 7:40 PM ET on Sportsnet, Brewers TV, and on Sportsnet 590 The Fan radio.

Dylan Cease will make his fourth start of the season on Wednesday night. In his last outing Cease did not factor into the decision against the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks across five innings. He struck out eight.

Command continues to be an issue for Cease, who's now issued nine walks over his first 14.2 innings this year, though he's also logged 26 strikeouts to help limit the damage.

Through his first three starts with Toronto, Cease sports a 2.45 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP.

He'll look to get into the win column for the first time in 2026 against a Brewers team missing core players like Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Andrew Vaughn.

Chad Patrick gets the ball for the Brew Crew tonight. In his last outing Patrick allowed three hits and a walk across three shutout innings in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Nationals.

After Aaron Ashby served as the opener Friday, throwing 44 pitches across 2.1 innings, Patrick came on with a 3-2 lead and proceeded to fire three shutout frames on 50 pitches.

He didn't record a strikeout but lowered his ERA to 0.73 with a 7:5 K:BB across 12.1 innings through three appearances.

Toronto is 1-4 in road games and 7-9 overall. The Blue Jays have the fourth-ranked team batting average in the AL at .252.

Milwaukee has a 5-5 record at home and an 8-8 record overall. The Brewers have the eighth-ranked team batting average in the NL at .224.
