They will start the second half of the season with Colorado in town.
Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes will get the start.
Milwaukee has a half-game lead on the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central Division with 69 games left in the regular season.
The Brewers were struggling as the All-Star break approached, losing 18 of 21 games.
