PITTSBURGH - With Chase Anderson on the mound, the Milwaukee Brewers face the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park tonight in an attempt to tie their season's high-water mark at 11 games over .500.

The Brewers, who were 52-41 on July 15 before starting their post-all-star break slide, are 80-70 and have won eight of their last 10.

The Pirates come in losers of 11 of their last 12.

Eric Thames bats leadoff and Brett Phillips is again in center field as manager Craig Counsell has five left-handed hitters in the lineup to face right-hander Trevor Williams.
