The Brewers open a four-game set at PNC Park in Pittsburgh this evening, their first meeting with their division rival this season. Pittsburgh started the season hot, and at this time last week was 11-5 and tied atop the NL Central with the Brewers. But they suffered consecutive sweeps this week at the hands of the Mets and the Red Sox and now, having lost six straight, sit at 11-11. Milwaukee went 4-2 last week, dropping two of three at home to San Diego but sweeping the Cardinals on the road in St. Louis.
Joe Ross will start tonight for the Brewers, with Jared Jones on the hill for Pittsburgh.
