Avoid the sweep!
Also, Avoid the NL cellar!
A loss today by the Brewers would leave them tied with the Houston Astros for last place.
The Brewers will be without rotund red-head Todd Coffey as he was put on the 15 DL retro to 5/30 with a thumb contusion. No corresponding move will be made today, and not likely until Thursday.
The Brewers will send Manny Parra to the bump to take on the Cardinals. The Cardinals will counter with Jamie Garcia. Garcia beat the Brewers on Apr. 10 earlier this year, going 6 IP only giving only one ER. Manny Parra who is making his 3rd start of the season, hasn't seen the Cardinals yet as a starter, however shut the Cards down in an inning of relief earlier this year.
