Eric Thames celebrates his fifth home run in five days.

CHICAGO - Eric Thames will try to homer in his sixth consecutive game tonight as the Milwaukee Brewers take on the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Thames homered in the third inning of Monday's game, tying Jeromy Burnitz for the club record. The Cubs are starting left-hander Brett Anderson, but Thames will get his shot against him as he once again mans first base.

Jimmy Nelson, off to a great start with a 1-0 record, 1.38 ERA and 13 strikeouts against only two walks, takes the mound for the Brewers.​
