SAN FRANCISCO -- Jimmy Nelson will seek to regain the form that had him on pace for one of the greatest seasons in Milwaukee Brewers history when he faces the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
Nelson will duel Giants right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who has successfully rebounded from a poor first half to put together a nice run of his own.
The Brewers hope Nelson (9-6, 3.74 ERA) can get the club headed back in a positive direction after Milwaukee was shut out by four Giants pitchers 2-0 in the opener of the three-game series Monday.
