Look for another typical run scoring performance by the red hot bats of the Brewers. As Milwaukee recently ripped the St. Louis lineup by swinging hot bats - and taking advantage of well timed plays when they needed it.

The Pirates will pin their hopes on the pitching of right hander Chad Kuhl in this game.
Kuhl has a 1-6 record and a 5.61 ERA this season.



Kuhl struggles with putting the ball in any of the corners vs decent batters, let alone hot ones. Pittsburgh has had problems with their pitching staff on the whole - and Kuhl isn't going to help that problem here. The Brewers will counter Kuhl with Zach Davies.
Right hander Davies has a 4.91 ERA to go along with a 7-3 record this season.
Brewers starter Davies faced the Pirates once this year and allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings. Pittsburgh is 13-20 on the road and 10-20 its last 30 games against NL Central teams. First-place Milwaukee has won five of its last seven games and I'll back them to bounce back at home here on Tuesday evening.
