Milwaukee: Junior Guerra (3-4 2.83 ERA)

<p>
In Quintana’s last start he gave up two earned runs on three hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 7-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cubs have won his last two starts where he has totaled 11 2/3 innings and has given up two earned runs. Two of Quintana’s better starts this season have come against the Brewers where he has not given up any earned runs in 13 innings of work in two Chicago wins.

</p>
<p>
In Guerra’s last start he gave up three earned runs on seven hits in six innings in a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians. The Brewers had won his previous two starts where he totaled 12 innings and gave up two earned runs. Guerra had a good start in his lone outing facing the Cubs this season going six strong innings and giving up one earned run on only three hits, but the lineup did not help in out in a 3-0 Milwaukee loss. In seven career appearances, including four starts, against the Cubs Guerra is 1-1 with an ERA of 1.80.
