Cubs eyeing fourth straight win vs. Brewers
Jul 30, 2008 - 10:15 AM Chi Cubs (63-44) at Milwaukee (60-47), 8:00 pm EDTMILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Chicago Cubs seek their fourth consecutive victory as they face the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday in the third round of a critical four-game series.
Aramis Ramirez went 4-for-5 with three doubles and drove in a run while Kosuke Fukudome had a two-run triple to help the Cubs post a 7-1 triumph over the Brewers on Tuesday. The win extended Chicago's advantage in the National League Central race to three games.
Cubs starter Ryan Dempster (11-4, 2.99 ERA) will hope to continue the club's recent trend and add to their lead.
The 31-year-old righthander is coming off a no-decision, allowing a run and two hits with six walks and six strikeouts over six frames in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Florida Marlins.
Looking to put a brake to the slide, Milwaukee will send rookie Manny Parra (9-3, 3.72) to the mound.
The 25-year-old Parra had an eight-game winning streak snapped, suffering his first loss since May 3, in his last outing. The lefthander gave up three runs over six innings during Friday's 3-1 loss to the Houston Astros.
