After a 3-4 road trip, the Brewers have a six-game homestand to finish the schedule before the All-Star break. They lost 2 1⁄2 games in the standings to the Cardinals and hope to rebuild that before the break. To start the homestand, they’ll face the Pirates for three games at home. The Pirates are 9 1⁄2 games back in the NL Central standings, but just four games back in the Wild Card standings.
This will be the Brewers' third series against the Pirates this season. So far, the Brewers are 4-3 against the Pirates this season.
