The Brewers will look to Chris Capuano (3-3, 4.09 ERA) to continue the streak of good outings by the starting rotation. He'll be making his fourth start in a row and sixth start overall this season. His last time out was easily his best start of the season: 7 IP, only 1 ER allowed on 4 H against the Cardinals. He has better numbers as a reliever this year, but overall, he's been getting the job done as a starter. And really, who else is there? In his career against the Astros, Capuano is 4-3 with a 3.49 ERA. Only Jeff Keppinger has faced Capuano at least 10 times; he's hitting .250/.250/.333 against in 12 PA against him.
Cappy will oppose Bud Norris (7-8, 5.16 ERA). The 25-year-old righty had some pretty decent numbers in the minors, but they haven't quite translated to the majors yet. Interestingly enough, his peripherals are pretty similar. In fact, he has a lower WHIP in the majors than he did in the minors. That being said, Norris is looking a lot better these days. Since the All-Star break he is 5-2 with a 4.39 ERA. Norris is 1-0 with a 3.94 ERA in his career against the Brewers. No Brewer has faced him at least 10 times.
