Brewers aim to end three-game losing streak in opener

Jul 27, 2007 - 1:20 PM Milwaukee (56-46) at St Louis (46-52) 8:10 pm EDT

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers will try to avoid a three-game losing streak when they meet the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a three-game series Sunday.

Milwaukee's Claudio Vargas (8-2, 4.47 ERA) goes for his third straight winning decision. Last time out, Vargas limited the San Francisco Giants to three runs in six innings for a 7-5 win on Sunday.

However, the Dominican righthander has struggled against the defending World Series champion Cardinals, who bolster a 4-1 record over Vargas.

St. Louis will counter with Mike Maroth (0-3, 8.17), who is still looking for his first win in the National League since coming from Detroit in a trade last month.

Maroth continued to stumble, giving up a career-worst 10 runs and season-high 11 hits through five frames in a 10-1 loss at Atlanta last Thursday.

But lefthander put together one of his best outings this season when he faced the Brewers on June 13, limiting them to one run in seven innings with the Tigers, who traded Maroth nine days later.
