The Milwaukee Brewers have won 12 of their last 15 games, including a 7-4 triumph against Pittsburgh Friday night. Milwaukee right-hander Zack Davies (2-5, 4.75 ERA) has allowed only three runs through his last two starts (both Milwaukee wins) and he has conceded two runs or fewer in five of his last seven appearances.

Milwaukee has plenty to play for sitting just one game back of the Cubs who are top of the NL Central while Pittsburgh's motivation must be questionable. Pittsburgh right-hander Ivan Nova (8-9, 4.17 ERA) had lost three straight decisions before throwing scoreless innings against Miami his last time out to earn the W.

8* play on Milwaukee Brewers.
