Fresh off taking two-out-of-three from first-place Chicago, the Milwaukee Brewers host San Francisco tonight (Friday) at Miller Park. The schedule is lining up for manager Craig Counsell’s team. Milwaukee plays nine of its next 12 games at home and 12 of the 21 games remaining in the season before the home fans. Chase Anderson looks for his 10th win in the game against the Giants. Milwaukee is four games behind the Cubs and a half-game up on the surging St. Louis Cardinals. Of the 21 games remaining in the 2018 season, the Brewers will only play six against teams with a winning record.
