Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers
8:10 PM ET, June 20, 2011
Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The Milwaukee Brewers had a rough trip, but they're still atop the NL Central.
The Brewers look to extend their best home start in franchise history Monday night when they host the Tampa Bay Rays for the first time.
After knocking St. Louis out of the Central lead for the first time since May 19 with a three-game sweep in its last home series June 10-12, Milwaukee (40-33) fell into a first-place tie with the Cardinals following a 2-5 trip.
The Brewers were outscored 24-11 while losing two of three to Boston over the weekend.
Milwaukee, though, is a major league-best 25-9 at home. The club opens its six-game stretch at Miller Park with Chris Narveson (4-4, 4.48 ERA) trying to win a career-high third consecutive start.
Manager Ron Roenicke needs Narveson to go deep in this game after his bullpen logged 14 innings against the Red Sox. Shaun Marcum left after one inning of Friday's 10-4 loss with a strained left hip flexor while Yovani Gallardo lasted three innings Sunday after getting tagged for eight runs -- five earned.
