The San Diego Padres brought their confidence from the Windy City to Milwaukee and are riding their first three-game winning streak of the season.
The last two victories can be attributed to solid pitching, but it'll be Christian Friedrich and not Andrew Cashner taking the mound Friday night against the Brewers.
San Diego (16-20) swept Wednesday's doubleheader from the baseball-best Chicago Cubs, winning the matinée 7-4 before recording its second shutout of the season with a 1-0 victory in the nightcap.
James Shields then struck out nine over seven innings to help beat the Brewers 3-0 in Thursday's series opener.
