After a great start to the season, Aaron Harang is looking to right the ship of a nasty losing streak.
Starting Pitching Matchup:
| Milwaukee Brewers (31-48) | Philadelphia Phillies (27-52) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RHP | Kyle Lohse | RHP | Aaron Harang | ||
| (4-9, 6.28 ERA) | (4-10, 3.56) | ||||
For his first two seasons in Milwaukee, former Phillie, Kyle Lohse had great success in the Brewers' rotation. However it's a much different story this season as Lohse has had a disaster of a season so far with only five quality starts. He's coming off a six inning, four run performance against another one of his former clubs, the Minnesota Twins last week.
After a great start to the season, Aaron Harang's year has been in a downward spiral since the end of May and he's lost his last seven starts. He's eaten innings but the numbers have been poor for a month.
Odubel Herrera gets the start tonight in center field and Carlos Ruiz gets his second consecutive night behind the plate tonight.
