Milwaukee: Matt Garza (5-5, 3.68 ERA)<br />
Minnesota: Adalberto Mejia (4-5, 4.30 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Matt Garza goes for the Brewers in this interleague game and in his last outing he gave up one earned run in five innings in a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers had lost his previous two starts even though he pitched well in only giving up three earned runs in 10 innings. In Garza’s last three starts he has only been given five runs of support. He began his career with the Twins and in five career starts against them he is 2-2 with an ERA of 2.43. Four of Garza’s last five starts have been at home and the Brewers have lost his last two road starts.

<p>
Adalberto Mejia gets the nod for the Twins tonight and he did not have a very good last outing giving up four earned runs in four innings in a 4-1 loss to the Texas Rangers. The Twins have lost four of his last five starts including his last three where he gave up seven earned runs in 13 innings. Mejia has given up four earned runs in two of his last four starts at home and in the other two outings only combined to give up three earned runs. This will be his first career start against the Brewers. Mejia had gone three straight games not giving up a HR before serving one up in his last start.
