The Brewers begin a brief two-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday evening at Miller Park. How brief? It probably won't last 24 hours from the start of the opener, which begins at 6:40 p.m. The second game is Wednesday at 12:10 p.m.

The Brewers send right-hander Jimmy Nelson to the mound, and he has been on a roll. Nelson is 1-0 with a 1.15 ERA over his last three starts, limiting opponents to a .193 average.

The Brewers' first two games on the road this season were in Toronto and they swept the Blue Jays, who got off to a horrible start to the season. 

Toronto is countering with right-hander Joe Biagini (1-2, 3.41), who began the season in the bullpen. 

Toronto's lineup will have a different look to it tonight, as Jose Bautista moves in from the outfield to play third base.

Jimmy Nelson kept San Diego's bats fairly quiet on Tuesday night.
