Overview

• The series begins Monday night in Milwaukee with Brandon Woodruff starting for the Brewers opposite Arizona left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.
• Woodruff returned July 27 from a roughly 21-month shoulder surgery layoff and is 4-1 with a 2.47 ERA, reaching a season-high 94 pitches in his last start, which manager Pat Murphy viewed as a positive step.
• Milwaukee enters at 81-50 with a 43-22 home mark and the NL’s top team batting average at .257 after a club-record 14-game win streak earlier this month.
• Arizona arrives 64-67 after taking two of three from the Reds and has gone 30-35 on the road this season.
• Rodriguez is 5-7 with a 5.40 ERA and has been tagged by hitters on both sides of the plate, with coverage noting especially rough numbers against lefties this year.
