The 28-year-old second baseman is the first player to watch this series. He found himself in quite a game against the Brewers when they faced each other when the Phillies returned home following a road trip. On June 9th, Hernandez finished the game going 3-for-5 with one strikeout in Philadelphia’s loss to the Brewers 12-4.

This season, Hernandez ranks first in team batting average against the Brewers with a .455 average. Entering the series opener Friday night, he is 4-for-11 with one RBI, four strikeouts, and two walks. He has accumulated a .455/.538/.455 slash line in eleven at-bats this season.

Hernandez started the series off well, going three-for-three with a double and one of the only two runs batted in.

You can expect Cesar Hernandez to have a great three-game series against the Brewers, hence why he is one of the five players to watch vs the Brewers.
