For Milwaukee, Craig Counsell is the key player. He in his last 11 games, is hitting .406 and going 8 for 23 during seven game hitting streak. He averages .163 at Dodger stadium in his last 16 games. Chris Narveson (1-0, 6.60) will also get the ball. Although he had a rough start against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, he will be looking to bounce back soon.
