The Phillies tied the series one apiece last night. Now the Brewers hope to rebound this afternoon.

Yesterday didn't go as the Brewers hoped. Rotation stalwart Jimmy Nelson was rocked for 6 runs in 4 innings. The bullpen locked things down from there. But the offense wasn't able to make up the ground and the Brewers fell 6-3. Today they hand the ball to one of the team's more pleasant surprises, Junior Guerra. He'll face off against Jeremy Hellickson who is enjoying one of the best seasons--early though it may be--in four years.
