Brewers' Blake Perkins: Getting steady playing time
Blake Perkins will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Giants.Before he landed on the injured list Aug. 12 with a right calf strain, Perkins had been serving as the Milwaukee Brewers' fourth outfielder, but he seems to have moved into a near-everyday role since being activated last Thursday. The switch-hitting Perkins will pick up his sixth consecutive start Thursday, with four of those coming against right-handed pitchers. Perkins is getting on base at a .409 clip since returning from the IL and appears to have at least temporarily supplanted Garrett Mitchell as the Brewers' preferred option in center field.
