Braun was 0-for-3 Tuesday, including his pinch-hit flyout in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader, but entered the series swinging a hot bat. Including his two-homer effort on Sunday against the Reds, Braun entered the week hitting .392 (31-for-79) with nine home runs over his last 22 games. He carried a .962 OPS into play Tuesday, good for third in the National League.
With Braun out of the game, Ramon Flores took over in left field for the Brewers.
