The Brewers lost their fourth game in a row, falling to the Padres 5-2. Every starter in the Milwaukee lineup collected exactly one hit, but they could not string them together. This against a pitcher, Shawn Estes who spent three months recuperating from a broken thumb and a team one loss away from the worst record in the NL.

Over the next six games, the Brewers play weak opponents. They have three more against the Padres and three against the Reds, all at home. Milwaukee needs to clean up over these six as they then begin a ten game road trip with four at Philadelphia and three at Chicago.

One thing working in the Brewers favor is that they are one of the few good teams on the road this season. Their 39-32 record is best in the NL and only the Angels are better away from home. The other favorable aspect of the schedule is they are through with the Astros. Houston is playing much better, but needs to depend on other teams to take out the Brewers.
