The Brewers return home after what was, all-in-all, a successful road trip in which they went 5-3 in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Let us never speak of what transpired on Thursday night again.
After catching a red-eye back home, the NL West-heavy portion of the schedule continues tonight with a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies.
The team that beat the Brewers out for a playoff spot by a single game last year enters this series at 58-50, 2 games out of first place in the NL West and 1.5 games behind Atlanta for the second wildcard spot (and 3 games behind the Brewers for the top wildcard).
