The two teams split a series last week in Traverse City \u2014 Green Bay dropped the opener 5\u20134 in a back-and-forth battle, but rebounded the following night with a gritty 8\u20136 win, powered by late offense and key bullpen work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Starting on the mound for Green Bay is Koshiro Ohno, a right-hander who\u2019s been settling into a groove and will look to set the tone early.
