Brewers Turn to Burnes

The Cardinals have really struggled against him, batting just .209 lifetime (.111 this season). Paul Goldschmidt is 9-for-27, Paul DeJong 5-for-16, but just about everyone else is sitting at or below .176.
Burnes had a couple of shaky outings of late, but was dominant (one run, three hits, 14 strikeouts) and had a 2-1 victory against the San Francisco Giants in his last start.

Wainwright Stepping Out For Cardinals
