We are in Milwaukee Wisconsin on Saturday night where we find the Philadelphia Phillies who are in town for a weekend series against the host Milwaukee Brewers tonight at American Family Field. The Brewers took care of business in the opener defeating the Phillies 6 to 0 on Friday night. They will look to secure the series victory with another win on Saturday night. The Phillies will hang their hopes of a win on Aaron Nola as he takes the hill with a record of 3-4 SU record, an ERA of 5.86, and a WHIP of 1.45 over sixty-six innings of work this season. Nola has struggled this season overall and in his last five starts carries an ERA of 7.13. The Brewers will send Shane Drohan to the mound with his record of 3-1 SU, an ERA of 3.11, and a WHIP of just 1.12 over thirty-seven plus innings of work this season. Drohan has a 2.70 fielding independent with 8.8 strikeouts and 0.5 home runs allowed per nine innings. When the Brewers acquired Kyle Harrison from Boston a part that trade is rarely discussed is they also picked up Shane Drohan who was currently in the Reds Sox minor league system. The Brewers put him right into their bullpen where he made ten relief appearances before they moved him into the starting rotation. To this point he has been solid and doing a nice job of making their front office look good at finding talent. Drohan and the Brewers will face a Phillies team that is batting just .206 against left-handed starters with a .348 slugging percentage this season.
