After the first two games of the series, the Brewers and Pirates have each taken one. They’ve traded off blowouts, with the Pirates taking Monday’s game and the Brewers taking yesterday’s game. The rubber match is set for this afternoon, as these teams will face off for the last time until late September.

Up for the Brewers is Aaron Civale, who will be making his second start in a Brewers uniform. In his first start with the team, he allowed four runs in five innings.
