San Diego comes into this matchup looking for the series win, but they need their offense to wake up, as they have scored a total of seven runs in their last three games. The Padres are 16-17 on the road this year, while the Brewers are 19-11 at home. Milwaukee is moving up in the NL Central standings, and they are starting Peralta, who has allowed three earned runs in back-to-back starts. The Padres are going with Bergert, who allowed two earned runs over 5.0 innings in his first start.
