the Chicago Cubs in a battle to get out of the NL Central basement. 

Both teams enter with 13-18 records, a full 7-games behind the front running St. Louis Cardinals.  Matt Garza (2-1, 2.67) pitches for the Cubs tonight.  Randy Wolf (2-3, 6.68) gets the start for the Brewers.

Tonight’s series opener marks the return to Miller Park by Dale Sveum, in his first year as the manager of the Cubs. 

The Brewers are 7-8 at home this season.  In 2011, they didn’t lose their 8th game until June 7.

Braun was retired his first time up, then homered in the 4th, 5th and 7th innings before stepping to the plate again in the 9th.  Attempting to tie the record for most home runs in a game, Braun ripped a shot to right center and settled in with a triple.

The last player to hit 3-home runs and a triple in the same game was Fred Lynn back in 1975.

Braun tied a career high with 6 rbi’s.

Randy Wolf worked 5 innings for his second straight victory.  Game 2 of the series is tonight.

Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez is starting to slowly heat up.  After clubbing his first Brewers home run on Wednesday night, he had two more hits on Thursday.  Travis Ishikawa also had two hits and two rbi’s.

Lefty Randy Wolf (0-2) went 6-innings and allowed 4-runs on 7-hits in taking the loss.  Dodger starter Aaron Harang (1-1) also worked 6-innings, allowing 3-runs on 8-hits with a walk and 4-strikeouts to pick up the win.

Milwaukee Brewers is a sure thing.

The Brewers knocked off the Dodgers 3-2 in 10-innings last night.  The Brewers have captured the first two games in the series to cool off the Dodgers.

Wolf pitches pivotal game 4 tonight (AUDIO)

By

Milwaukee Brewers lefty Randy Wolf pitched just three innings and took the loss in game 4 of the National League Divisional Series at Arizona last week.  Tonight, Wolf pitches game 4 of the National League Championship series at St. Louis tonight, facing close to a must win scenario.

If the Brewers lose tonight, they’ll trail the Cardinals 3-1 and would need to win all three remaining games to advance to the World Series.

Last time out, Wolf struggled to get ahead and didn’t throw many strikes against Arizona.  That will need to change tonight.

AUDIO: Randy Wolf needs to throw more strikes :21

Wolf gave up 7-earned runs on 8-hits in taking the loss against the Diamondbacks. 

Kyle Lohse will be well rested.  It’s been 12-days since he last pitched.
