Milwaukee Brewers (34-34) News
A home series loss against the Oakland Athletics followed by being swept in two games by the Minnesota Twins has the Brewers feeling like they have reached rock bottom. Their losing streak right now is tied at a season high six games and they cannot get firing on all cylinders. They are in a stretch of series against playoff contending teams and will need to turn things around fast.

It’s been an up and down month of June for the current first place Pirates. They have series wins against the Cardinals and Mets, but losses to the Athletics and Cubs. Entering Friday night they are in a three game losing streak in which they have surrendered 28 runs over that span that includes giving up three or more runs in six different innings.
