The Brewers and the Phillies square off Tuesday to start a three-game series, with Jason Alexander getting the ball for game one. The Phillies will send out Ranger Suarez, who enters Tuesday with a 4-3 record and 4.69 ERA. The Phillies come to Milwaukee winners of 4 of their last 5, including a three-game sweep of the Angels. Meanwhile, the NL Central-leading Brewers will try to bounce back after dropping three in a row to the Padres.
A big reason the Brewers struggled against the Padres was due to their inability to score runs. In the four-game series, the Brewers were only able to tally nine runs, getting shut out twice.
