Two weeks to go and thirteen games to make up four on the Cubs...or 2.5 on the Rockies. A sweep of the Pirates' series would give the Brewers a season series win, and get Milwaukee to 4-6 at PNC Park.

Lefty Brent Suter (2-2, 3.66) starts another full bullpen game for Milwaukee, and will face Pittsburgh's Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.78). Craig Counsell will have 7 lefity bats in the order tonight, although Suter might not hit.
