Current record: 67-57, 3rd place in NL Central, 8.5 games back
Up Next: Milwaukee Brewers, 57-66, 4th place in NL Central, 17.5 games back
Season Series: 3-3 (2-1, 1-2)
Notes: The Brewers are in full-on 2013 mode. They’ve called up prospect Jean Segura after trading Cesar Izturis. They also released veteran starting pitcher Randy Wolf and are seeing what they have in their young starters. Ryan Braun is still hitting like a beast, while Jonathan Lucroy, Corey Hart and Aramis Ramirez provide punch to the rest of the lineup.
