PHILADELPHIA — Looking to snap a season-worst six game losing streak, the Milwaukee Brewers will send left-hander Brent Suter to the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
Suter, who will make his fifth start of the season, is 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA, but pitching hasn’t been the Brewers’ main concern lately. He has yet to face the Phillies in his career.
Manager Craig Counsell knows his team is struggling at the plate and the only way to turn the team’s fortune around is to change that.
Milwaukee has scored only 12 runs during its six-game slide and its lead atop the National League Central has been cut to one over the Chicago Cubs.
