Brewers look to snap losing skid as homestand continues against the Rays
Riding a season-long three-game losing skid, the Milwaukee Brewers turn to their ace Freddy Peralta (2-0, 3.18 ERA) tonight as they play host to the Tampa Bay Rays for the second of their three-game series inside American Family Field. Tampa Bay won game one of the series on Monday 1-0 as four pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout of the Brewers, but the Rays have not won consecutive games since winning three in a row from April 9-12 and have lost six of their last eight games including the first three games of their current six-game road trip to the White Sox over the weekend.
