Preview: Diamondbacks at Brewers

Current Conditions - Milwaukee

Clear 74 °F
Wind: SSW 5.8
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Arizona Diamondbacks (41-59) at Milwaukee Brewers (43-55)
DATE/TIME: Wednesday, July 27 - 8:10 PM EST
WHERE: Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 16 runs in the first two games of the series and attempt to defeat the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks for the third straight night on Wednesday in the third contest of their four-game set. Milwaukee scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 victory and has collected 23 hits while outscoring the Diamondbacks by 10 in the two victories.

Ryan Braun reached base three times and scored three runs on Tuesday while extending his hitting streak to 11 games as the Brewers sent Arizona to its sixth loss in seven contests. Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who is batting .301 with 13 homers and 50 RBIs, is the subject of trade speculation - with the New York Mets rumored to be in hot pursuit. Arizona manager Chip Hale held Jake Lamb out of Tuesday's lineup due to a bruised left hand that had rendered the third baseman hitless with 10 strikeouts in his last 19 at-bats. "He saw something and he asked me about it, and it's gotten to the point now where I think it's affected my swing and I'm not coming through helping my team," Lamb told reporters. "So we're going to take it day by day and just see how it feels."

PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Archie Bradley (3-6, 4.44 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Jimmy Nelson (6-8, 3.40)

Bradley is 0-3 over his last six starts despite allowing more than three runs on just one occasion during that stretch. He had control issues in his last outing - walking a season-high five batters in five innings - while allowing three runs and five hits in a loss to Cincinnati. Bradley has served up just two homers in seven road starts while giving up nine in six home outings.

Nelson is saddled with a 1-5 record over his last nine turns despite giving up two or fewer earned runs six times during that span. He lost to the Chicago Cubs in his last start as he gave up four runs - two earned - and four hits over five innings. Nelson is 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two career starts against the Diamondbacks.

WALK-OFFS

1. Diamondbacks 1B Paul Goldschmidt is 5-for-10 in the series after going 2-for-16 over his previous five contests.

2. Milwaukee 2B Scooter Gennett, who is 4-for-8 with a homer in the series, has collected six RBIs over his last three games.

3. Arizona LF David Peralta (back) is expected to return to the team on Friday as he nears completion of a rehab stint.

PREDICTION: Brewers 7, Diamondbacks 5

Preview: Angels at Royals

Current Conditions - Kansas City

Sunny 72 °F
Wind: N 3.5
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Los Angeles Angels (45-55) at Kansas City Royals (48-51)
DATE/TIME: Wednesday, July 27 - 8:15 PM EST
WHERE: Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Kansas City Royals are fresh off their worst home loss since 2002 and look to avert a three-game sweep when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Kansas City was shellacked 13-0 on Tuesday to lose for the sixth time in its last seven games while Los Angeles equaled a season high with 22 hits.

Los Angeles' Yunel Escobar matched a personal best with five hits and Kole Calhoun equaled his career high of four RBIs in Tuesday's rout. Carlos Perez recorded four hits and Albert Pujols registered his 27th RBI of the month - most in the majors. The Royals, who are a dismal 6-15 in July, have scored just 17 runs over their last seven contests and have slipped three games below .500. Kansas City has experienced success against Angels starter Matt Shoemaker in the past, with Salvador Perez (6-for-8, one homer) and Eric Hosmer (4-for-8) faring extremely well.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, FSN West (Los Angeles), FSN Kansas City

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Matt Shoemaker (5-10, 3.99 ERA) vs. Royals LH Danny Duffy (6-1, 3.14)

Shoemaker lost to Houston in his last outing as he gave up two runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings. He tossed his first career shutout in his previous turn, when he struck out a career-high 13 and allowed six hits against the Chicago White Sox. Shoemaker has been torched in three career starts against Kansas City, going 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA and .464 batting average against in just 10 2/3 innings.

Duffy is looking to win his sixth consecutive decision and he has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last five turns. He has pitched into the seventh inning in each of those five outings, striking out 34 against just four walks. Duffy is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in three career appearances (two starts) against the Angels and has struggled against Mike Trout (3-for-6, one homer).

WALK-OFFS

1. Royals CF Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) will begin a rehab stint at Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

2. Los Angeles designated OF Todd Cunningham for assignment on Tuesday to open a roster spot for LHP Tyler Skaggs, who pitched seven scoreless innings.

3. Kansas City recalled 2B Raul Mondesi - the top prospect turns 21 on Wednesday - and the son of the former outfielder of the same name went 0-for-3 on Tuesday in his regular-season debut (he played in the 2015 World Series).
