The Milwaukee Brewers are heating up at just the right time. After dropping two of their first three games on this road trip, they've found their rhythm and now look to extend their winning streak to three consecutive victories when they face the Washington Nationals again this Saturday afternoon at Nationals Park.
First pitch is scheduled for 12:35 p.m. CT, and Brewers fans can catch all the action on Brewers.TV or tune in to AM-620 WTMJ radio for live play-by-play coverage.
On the mound for Milwaukee, left-hander Kyle Harrison takes the ball with a solid 2-1 record and an impressive 2.28 ERA through his first few starts of the season. He'll be looking to keep the Nationals' bats quiet and give his offense a chance to build on their recent momentum.
Washington counters with left-hander Foster Griffin, who enters the game undefeated at 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA. Griffin has been a pleasant surprise for the Nationals, and the Brewers will need to be patient at the plate to solve him.
Looking ahead to Sunday's series finale, the Brewers have yet to announce their starter, while the Nationals are expected to send right-hander Zack Littell to the hill. Littell has struggled mightily this season, sporting an 0-4 record and a bloated 7.85 ERA, which could present a prime opportunity for Milwaukee's lineup to break out.
With the Brewers aiming to keep their winning streak alive and the Nationals looking to play spoiler, Saturday's matchup promises plenty of drama. Will Harrison continue his strong start, or can Griffin keep Milwaukee's bats at bay? Tune in to find out.
