Kuhl knows the Brewers well from his days in Pittsburgh. He’s 4-2 with a 3.09 ERA in 11 career outings (10 starts) against the Brewers. The right-hander pitched a gem on June 27 against the Dodgers at Coors Field, throwing the first complete-game shutout of his career. Since then, however, he’s put up a 7.36 ERA over three starts. Kuhl is 3-3 with a 4.70 ERA in nine road starts this season.
Lauer, making his 18th start of the season, pitched well in his last outing, though he didn’t get a decision in Milwaukee’s 2-1 loss at San Francisco. The lefty pitched seven innings, allowing just one run on two hits, with three walks and four strikeouts. The Brewers were 10-7 in his 17 starts and opponents are batting just .226 against him. Lauer has not fared well against Colorado, going 1-4 with a 7.30 ERA in nine career starts. But in two games last season, he was excellent, going 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA.
Trending: Lefty reliever Lucas Gilbreath entered Saturday’s game having been scored on just once over his last 13 games, good for a 0.66 ERA.
At issue: After a hot start, backup rookie catcher Brian Serven has come back to earth. Entering Saturday night’s game, he was 1-for-22 (.045) in his seven games in July. He’s hitting just .091 (3-for-33) with one double, four walks and eight strikeouts through his last 10 games.
