Game Details

First pitch is scheduled for 7:40 p.m. ET. Brewers games are broadcast locally on FDSN-WI and nationally on MLB Network.

Pitching Matchup

The Brewers will hand the ball to right-hander Quinn Priester, who enters with an 11–2 record, a 3.44 ERA, 104 strikeouts in 128⅓ innings and hasn’t lost since May 13, sitting one win shy of tying the franchise mark for consecutive victories. Opposing him is Arizona’s Ryne Nelson, who owns a 6–3 record and a 3.63 ERA across his first 14 starts, bringing steady command but seeking more length to help his club climb back to .500 on the road

Key Storylines

• Milwaukee has claimed both prior meetings, including a 7–5 win Monday. In that game, Brandon Woodruff notched the victory (5.2 IP, 8 K) and Andruw Monasterio drove in two runs with a homer, while Eduardo Rodríguez took the loss for Arizona.
• The Brewers lead the National League Central by 5.5 games and boast an 44–22 mark at home, using T-Mobile Park’s hitter-friendly dimensions to bolster their potent lineup.
• Arizona seeks its first road series win since mid-July and will lean on Nelson to quiet the Brewers’ high-OBP attack, as Milwaukee ranks second in MLB with a .332 on-base percentage.
