• The starting line-up for the Brewers is as follows:

 

• The starting line-up for the Phillies is as follows:

 

• Even with Christian Yelich off to a slow start, the Milwaukee Brewers are still surging. The Brewers will look for their fifth consecutive victory when they open a three-game series against the host Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. After defeating the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, the Brewers then swept a three-game series from the Pittsburgh Pirates this week. All that despite the scuffling Yelich, who is 8-for-41 (.195) with one home run after the opening two weeks.

• Despite an 0-2 and 1-3 start to the season, the Brewers weren’t fazed.

• The Brewers will hand the ball to Freddy Peralta (0-1, 11.57 ERA) on Friday. Peralta is 0-2 with a 5.93 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) against the Phillies.

• Over the last four games, the starting pitching has been much improved.

• The Phillies will look to bring the positive momentum of a rare road win into their home series. Philadelphia salvaged something from its seven-game road trip with a 9-6 win at the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. The Phillies went 2-5 through Miami and Colorado.

• Despite offseason additions of Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos, the Phillies have won just five of their first 13 games.

• Castellanos is hitting .306 with three home runs and appears to be comfortable in his new surroundings. He believes the potent lineup, which also includes Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and J.T. Realmuto, will keep launching homers.

• The Phillies received an unexpected contribution from Johan Camargo with a four-hit performance on Wednesday.

• Ranger Suarez (1-0, 5.87 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Phillies. Suarez has never faced the Brewers.
