At Miller Park, Milwaukee

Scouting report: Milwaukee is 6-6 against the Cardinals this season. ... All-time saves leader Trevor Hoffman has been supplanted this season as Milwaukee closer, but he's pieced together enough saves to enter this series one shy of being the first to reach 600. ... Prince Fielder hit his 30th home run of the season in Milwaukee's victory Sunday over Philadelphia. He's the second in franchise history to have four consecutive years of at least 30 homers, joining Jeromy Burnitz, who did it from 1998 to 2001. ... The Brewers are 33-35 at home, where they've been outscored by 72 runs, or roughly one per game. ... Sunday's win halted a five-game losing streak. ... Casey McGehee, a player Milwaukee claimed when he was trimmed from the Cubs' roster, leads the Brewers with 86 RBIs. ... Ryan Braun is one homer shy of 20 for this season. If he hits his 20th, Milwaukee will have five players with at least that many in their lineup.
