The Milwaukee Brewers' road win streak has reached an impressive 15 games, their longest such streak since 2018.
The Brewers are currently on the west coast, where they will spend a week playing against several teams. Tonight, they face the San Francisco Giants in the first game of a three-game series at Oracle Park.
Brandon Sproat opens this road trip for the Brewers, looking to build on his recent improvement. Over the last month and a half, he has posted a 3.46 ERA in June and a 3.86 ERA so far in July. However, he has struggled to pitch deep into games lately, with only 11 2/3 innings pitched in his last three starts.
For the Giants, Tyler Mahle gets the start tonight. He has been pitching better in the last month after returning from a left hamstring injury, with a 3.76 ERA and 3.72 FIP in his last five starts.
The Brewers have made one roster change prior to tonight's game. After being designated for assignment on Sunday, the team officially released Lance McCullers Jr. today, ending his short stint with the team.
The lineups for tonight's game have been announced. The Brewers are starting the series with their regular lineup, with Jake Bauers in right field and Andrew Vaughn at first base.
The Giants, meanwhile, have also announced their lineup for tonight's game. The series gets underway at Oracle Park at 8:45 p.m. local time, with the Brewers looking to extend their winning streak.
This road trip is a crucial test for the Brewers, who will face several tough opponents in the coming week. A strong start against the Giants would set them up well for the challenges ahead.
The Brewers are currently in second place in the National League Central division, trailing the Chicago Cubs by 3.5 games. A successful road trip could help them close the gap and make a push for the division title.
