Milwaukee comes into this matchup on a two-game winning streak and has won four of their last five games prior to the first two games of their series against Colorado. In Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Eric Haase contributed to the Brewers’ win by going 1-for-3 at the plate, driving in a run and crossing the plate himself to score. This season, outfielder Christian Yelich stands as Milwaukee’s top power hitter, having knocked 15 home runs out of the park. The next most prolific sluggers on the team are Rhys Hoskins and rookie Jackson Chourio, both of whom have each tallied 12 home runs so far. Yelich is also leading the club in RBIs, having driven in 57 runs this year, making him Milwaukee’s most productive batter when it comes to bringing teammates home. When it comes to consistency at the plate, Sal Frelick leads the Brewers with a team-best .296 batting average, demonstrating his ability to get on base regularly. The Brewers' offense has been particularly explosive recently, averaging an impressive 6.8 runs per game over their last five matchups. This strong run production has kept Milwaukee close in the standings, as they trail the division-leading Chicago Cubs by only three games in the tight NL Central race. Looking ahead, Milwaukee hopes to maintain their impressive offensive momentum as they return home for a matchup against the team with the fewest wins in baseball this season. Overall, the Brewers have averaged 4.7 runs per game throughout the year, a number they’ll aim to improve as they continue their push for the top spot in the division.

Colorado enters this game on a three-game losing streak and has dropped four of their last five games prior to the first two games of the series against Milwaukee. During Thursday’s 3-1 defeat against the Dodgers, Brenton Doyle provided the only spark for the Rockies’ offense, going 1-for-3 at the plate. He hit a solo home run, driving in the team’s lone run and crossing the plate himself—the only time a Colorado player would score in the game. This season, Hunter Goodman has been Colorado’s top power hitter, leading the team with 14 home runs. Ryan McMahon has also contributed significantly, ranking second on the squad with 12 home runs to his name. Goodman is not just the home run leader—he also tops the team in RBIs, having driven in 48 runs so far this year. His impact at the plate is further highlighted by his team-leading .287 batting average. Defensively, the Rockies have had their struggles, allowing opponents to score an average of 5.4 runs over their past five games. As the team continues to fight through a challenging season and tries to steer clear of setting unwanted records, their offense has managed to put up an average of just 3.5 runs per contest.
