Brewers look to complete sweep of Pirates

Jul 6, 2008 - 1:20 PM Pittsburgh (40-46) at Milwaukee (48-39) 2:05 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers look to complete a three-game sweep with a ninth consecutive home victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Jeff Suppan (5-6, 4.30 ERA) hopes to help the Brewers continue their success at Miller Park, where they've won four in a row overall.

The 33-year-old righthander has struggled lately, though, and has given up 15 runs in the past 12 2/3 innings, which spans over three starts.

His counterpart, Zach Duke (4-5, 3.88), is coming off a no-decision against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday in which he surrendered one run in five innings. In the past three starts, he is sporting a miniscule 2.11 ERA, but hasn't won since June 9. He is also looking for his first win on the road this season.

Prince Fielder and Mike Cameron have paced the Brewers' offense in the series thus far. Fielder is 4-for-9 with two RBIs while Cameron is 6-for-13 with two home runs and five RBIs in his last four contests.

On Saturday, J.J. Hardy had his 16-game hitting streak snapped after going 0-for-3 in the Brewers' 2-1 victory.

Paul Maholm threw eight brilliant innings for Pittsburgh, but reliever Tyler Yates coughed up an RBI single to Fielder in the ninth.
