Arizona @ Milwaukee preview

Last Meeting ( Jul 25, 2016 ) Arizona 2, Milwaukee 7

The Milwaukee Brewers put on an impressive power display in the series opener and look to defeat Arizona again when they host the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in the second contest of a four-game set. Milwaukee hammered four homers to account for six runs in Monday's 7-2 victory.

Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun reached base four times on two hits and two walks to extend his hitting streak to 10 games but wasn't among the players to knock one over the fence. Catcher Martin Maldonado slugged a three-run blast while infielders Scooter Gennett, Jonathan Villar and Andy Wilkins all hit solo blasts. Struggling Arizona has lost five of its last six games and 18 of its past 23 contest. First baseman Paul Goldschmidt had three hits in the opener after being 2-for-16 over the previous five games.
