Pitchers: vs Carpenter vs Greinke
Greinke is averaging 11.78 strikeouts per nine innings, but cannot yet qualify after missing the first month of the season with a fractured rib. “Two out of three from the Cubs is nothing to sneeze at,” said , who drove in all three runs with his NL-leading 28th homer. “I think if you want to poo-poo the homestand, one of those games against the Astros we should have won, and it would have been three out of four.” “At home, we’re always on a good roll, it seems like,” said , who drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. “So, just keep playing the way we’ve been playing. No matter what happens, we can be happy with that.” He didn’t receive a decision in Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to Houston after giving up two runs and eight hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings. Carpenter was bested by Greinke in the Brewers’ 5-3 win on June 11. The 2009 AL Cy Young winner won his fourth straight start with that outing and improved to 6-1 for Milwaukee after giving up three runs with nine strikeouts in seven innings. St. Louis is 28-27 away from home this season, but has yet to sweep a road series from an NL foe. The Brewers (60-49), who have a 2 1/2-game lead over the Cardinals, own the best home record in the majors at 39-14. Meanwhile, Greinke will be trying to win consecutive starts for the first time in nearly two months. The right-hander had been 0-2 in five starts before allowing three hits with nine strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings of a 2-0 win over the Cubs on Wednesday.
