The Milwaukee Brewers send left-hander Brett Anderson to the mound when Arizona visits American Family Field, but they can’t promise he will get a lot of runs to work with.
Milwaukee needs some offense.
Sitting in third place in the National League Central Division, three games behind the Cubs, the team is hitting just .211 and has an O-P-S of .695 – 28th among the 30 Major League Baseball teams.
Centerfielder Lorenzo Cain is on the injured list, former M-V-P Christian Yelich is hitting .250 with one homer and five runs batted in, and infielder Keston Hiura is just one-for-23 since returning from a minor league demotion.
Pitching has been the key as Milwaukee’s 3.74 earned run average is 10th best among the 30 teams.
