CINCINNATI (Interstat) — The Milwaukee Brewers look to build on their recent success at Great American Ball Park when they face the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, June 24, at 7:10 p.m. LHP Shane Drohan (3-2) is set to start for Milwaukee, while the Reds counter with RHP Rhett Lowder (3-4). The forecast calls for 72 degrees and cloudy skies. The Brewers (47-29) hold the best record in the National League and have won two straight against Cincinnati, including a 2-1, 10-inning victory on Monday. In that game, Brandon Woodruff was dominant, pitching six shutout innings while allowing one hit and striking out 10. Woodruff is a key figure to watch; he also earned the win in that matchup and has been a stabilizing force in Milwaukee’s rotation. Cincinnati (37-40) has lost five of its last seven, but Brady Singer turned in a strong performance on Monday. He allowed two hits and no earned runs over seven innings, striking out seven but took a no-decision. Over his last five starts, Singer has a 1.88 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 27 innings. The Reds won the most recent meeting between these teams on Tuesday, a scoreless game that ended 0-0. Milwaukee has been installed as a -1.5 run favorite, and the over/under is set at 9. The Interstat game simulator projects a 6-5 Brewers victory. After this game, Milwaukee returns home for a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs starting Friday. Cincinnati travels to Pittsburgh for a series beginning Friday. For Cincinnati, the bullpen will be tested after a heavy workload in the series. Sam Moll and Tejay Antone recorded scoreless outings in Monday’s loss. Woodruff’s recent form is a bright spot for Milwaukee, which has won eight of its last 11. The Brewers have also been effective on the road, posting a 24-14 record away from American Family Field. Lowder will look to snap a personal losing streak. He has lost his last two decisions and has allowed four earned runs over 10 innings in that span. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m.
