Brewers - Cubs Storylines


Battle of Familiar Pitchers: Carlos Villanueva (1-4 10.93 ERA) comes back to the Brew City where his career was the epitome of a roller coaster experience. One game he would be getting Albert Pujols out in a big situation and the next he would be giving up late game hits to the likes of Reed Johnson which just left me scratching my head. Something to keep in mind: Aramis Ramirez is a career .500 hitter (4-8) against Villanueva dating back to his Chicago days and he has been on fire early this season. On the other side the Brewers send out Matt Garza (0-2 4.50 ERA) who had strong feelings when asked about pitching against the Cubs this season after being traded last year at the deadline. Garza did not mix words when he said he was going to "try to kick [the Cubs] teeth in" every time he's given the chance. It's no secret he is one of the most competitive players on the field so a little added fire should be interesting. Garza has had tough luck but pitched well in this season and looks to get going on the right track against the Cubs who have been cold offensively.
