Brewers close out series vs. Rays at Miller Park
Jun 22, 2011 - 2:50 PMVideo
It will be Marcum's first action since June 17, when he was pulled after just one inning against the Boston Red Sox with a hip strain.
Marcum, 29, allowed four hits and two runs in a game Boston won, 10-4.
A first-year National Leaguer after five seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, Marcum had won seven of his initial 14 starts with the Brewers, including a 4-3 defeat of St. Louis on June 12.
The Brewers enter today's finale a half-game ahead of the second-place Cardinals in the NL Central Division.
Milwaukee pulled even in the series with the Rays on Tuesday, as Zack Greinke threw seven innings while giving up a run on four hits in a 5-1 triumph.
Greinke (7-2) fanned 10 Rays without issuing a walk to earn the victory for Milwaukee.
Ryan Braun collected a two-run single and Jonathan Lucroy added three hits for the Brewers, who had lost four of their previous five games, including the series opener on Monday.
Yuniesky Betancourt smacked a solo home run for Milwaukee.
Jeremy Hellickson (7-6) worked six innings in defeat, giving up two runs on three hits while walking four and striking out three.
John Jaso notched an RBI single for the Rays, who had their four-game winning streak snapped.
Tampa Bay sends lefty David Price to the mound for his first career meeting with the Brewers.
A 19-game winner last season, Price has struggled to find consistency in 2011, winning four times and losing four times over his last 10 starts in which the Rays are 6-4.
He was touched for five hits and three runs in five innings of his most recent outing on June 16 and took a 4-2 loss to the visiting Red Sox in St. Petersburg.
His last win came against the Los Angeles Angels on June 6, when he gave up a run on five hits in seven innings.
Tampa Bay and Milwaukee are squaring off for the first time since the Rays took two of three meetings at home from June 13-15, 2005.
- TAMPA BAY: 6
MILWAUKEE: 3
