Bub Uecker and the crew finally back at Miller Park

SAN DIEGO — Coming off being swept by the San Diego Padres to end an eight-game west coast trip, the Milwaukee Brewers will be glad to get back home.

Coverage with Bob Uecker on WKTY 96.7 FM / 580 AM begins at 6:35 p.m.

The Brewers head back to friendly Miller Park after the 2-6 road trip. On the road this season, Milwaukee is now 18-21. At home, the Brewers are 22-13.

Milwaukee will be home for the next 10 games, beginning tonight with a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.

Jimmy Nelson takes the mound looking to find any of the magic he had two seasons ago, before shoulder surgery cost him last season.

Nelson has had just two two appearances so far. He went three innings the first time, giving up four earned runs, walking three and striking out three. The next outing, he lasted four innings and, again, walked three and gave up four earned but did strike out six.

The 30-year-old’s ERA right now is 10.29.

Milwaukee will face Tanner Roark, who is 4-6 with a 3.46 ERA this season.
