Result: Win
Play: Milwaukee Brewers
Rating: 10*
The Milwaukee Brewers have won four of seven on their 10-game homestand which will conclude with a three games against the Pittsburgh Pirates starting Friday night.
Junior Guerra (6-2, 2.85) takes the ball for Milwaukee. The 31 year old rookie is 4-2 with a 2.42 ERA in eight home starts and is holding opponents to a .206 average overall. He held the Cubs to just one unearned run over 6 1/3 innings in his last start.
The Pirates turn to a much younger rookie in 24 year old Steven Brault (0-0, 2.25 ERA) who is set to make his second start in the big leagues. The left-hander held the Cardinals to two runs (one earned) on four hits in four innings in his debut, but will come up against a Brew Crew that is 8-2 in its last 10 home games vs. a left-handed starter.
The Pirates are 1-7 in their last eight road games vs. a team with a winning home record and they've dropped 61 of 78 games at Miller Park since 2007. I think their struggles will extend into this contest.
