The Milwaukee Brewers are on a roll as they head into a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies in Denver. Coming off a successful homestand where they hit four grand slams in five games, the Brewers are looking to continue their winning streak on the road.
The Brewers will send right-hander Bryse Wilson to the mound for the series opener, while the Rockies will counter with left-hander Austin Gomber. Wilson, with a 5-3 record and a 3.89 ERA, will be making his 20th appearance of the season. He is coming off a strong performance against the Texas Rangers where he threw six innings of shutout relief.
Gomber, on the other hand, has had a tough month of June with a 0-3 record and a 9.39 ERA in five starts. Despite a strong start in May, Gomber struggled in June, giving up 15 first-inning runs in his last five starts. He will be looking to bounce back against the Brewers and turn his season around.
The Rockies are coming off a 1-4 road trip but managed to pull out a 5-4 victory in 14 innings over the White Sox in Chicago. Manager Bud Black celebrated his 67th birthday with a win, thanks to Michael Toglia’s sacrifice fly that drove in the winning run.
Meanwhile, the Brewers dominated the Chicago Cubs with a seven-run fourth inning en route to a 7-1 victory. Brice Turang hit his second grand slam in eight games, making it the team’s fifth grand slam in that span. Manager Pat Murphy joked about finding a secret recipe for hitting homers with the bases loaded.
As the Brewers hit the road with a 6 1/2-game lead in the National League Central, they are focused on maintaining their momentum and improving in all aspects of their game. With a tough series against the Rockies followed by a matchup against the NL West-leading Dodgers, the Brewers are determined to continue their winning ways.
It will be an exciting series as the Brewers and Rockies face off in Denver, with both teams looking to make a statement and secure important wins in the race for the postseason. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling matchup between these two competitive teams.
