KEY GAME INFORMATION

MILWAUKEE: 2017: 86-76, second place.
MANAGER: Craig Counsell (fourth season).
ADDITIONS: OF Lorenzo Cain, OF Christian Yelich, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Yovani Gallardo, LHP Boone Logan, RHP Matt Albers.
SUBTRACTIONS:2B Neil Walker, OF Lewis Brinson, RHP Matt Garza, RHP Wily Peralta, RHP Carlos Torres, RHP Jared Hughes, RHP Anthony Swarzak.
OUTLOOK: Expectations are up after the Brewers finished one game out of the playoffs in what was supposed to be the second full season of a rebuild. Instead of signing a high-priced starter, General Manager David Stearns added Cain and Yelich as the team's key offseason acquisitions. The new outfielders are former Gold Glove winners who can help out the pitching staff by cutting down on extra-base hits at Miller Park. The rotation should be bolstered later in the season by the return of right-hander Jimmy Nelson, who is recovering from right shoulder surgery in September after getting hurt while diving back to first while running the bases. Whether the Brewers repeat their 2017 success and challenge the Cubs in the NL Central could come down to starting pitching. A trade drawing from the team's outfield depth might help during the season.

PITTSBURGH: 2017 75-87, fourth place
MANAGER Clint Hurdle (seventh season)
ADDITIONS: OF Corey Dickerson, LHP Kyle Crick, RHP Joe Musgrove, RHP Michael Feliz, 3B Colin Moran
SUBTRACTIONS: CF Andrew McCutchen, RHP Gerrit Cole, RHP Daniel Hudson, C Chris Stewart, 1B John Jaso, RHP Joaquin Benoit
OUTLOOK: General Manager Neal Huntington insists the Pirates are not rebuilding, but it certainly looks that way after they flipped franchise cornerstones McCutchen and Cole for less expensive and less proven talent. The Pirates did nothing in free agency, though they were able to grab Dickerson -- an All-Star for Tampa Bay last season -- in February. Dickerson's arrival gives Pittsburgh some stability in the outfield, but the Pirates still have some serious power issues outside of Bell, who finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting. Pittsburgh finished 29th in the majors in home runs in 2017, and while McCutchen and Dickerson's numbers are comparable, the rest of the lineup isn't exactly imposing. If Marte can put his suspension-marred 2017 behind him, if Polanco and his hamstrings can stay healthy, if Moran proves he can do more than spell Freese at third, and if Taillon, Kuhl and Williams all improve, Pittsburgh could be competitive. That's a lot of "ifs," probably a few too many.

PREVIEW

Pirates hope to keep playing spoiler vs. Brewers

Perhaps the good news for the Milwaukee Brewers is that they have only one game left this year against the spoiler Pittsburgh Pirates.

The teams play Sunday at PNC Park in the finale of a weekend series and the season set. The Pirates are 12-6 against the Brewers.

Milwaukee lost ground Saturday, thanks to a 3-0 loss. The Brewers (88-67), who had a two-game winning streak halted, fell 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs in the National League Central. The St. Louis Cardinals gained a game on the Brewers, who hold the top NL wild-card spot. Milwaukee is two games ahead of St. Louis and 3 1/2 of Colorado, which is third in the wild-card standings.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell insists his club isn't obsessing about the standings.

"We're trying to take care of our own business, and if you take care of that, something good's probably going to happen," Counsell said.

The Pirates (78-75), who need four victories to finish with a winning record, can continue to affect the division outcome with four games against the Cubs starting Monday. The Brewers' next series is against St. Louis.

Milwaukee center fielder Lorenzo Cain, who has not started the last three games because of an intercostal injury, grounded out as a pinch hitter Saturday, something Counsell called "a good thing, for sure."

Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle did not have an update on catcher Francisco Cervelli (gastrointestinal discomfort) or promising reliever Edgar Santana (right forearm and elbow discomfort). Both players left in the sixth inning Friday. Neither played Saturday.

Brewers left-hander Wade Miley (5-2, 2.08 ERA) is scheduled to face Pirates right-hander Nick Kingham (5-6, 4.69) in the series finale.

For Pittsburgh, that's a change that was not announced until during Saturday's game. Right-hander Joe Musgrove had been set to start, but the club said he is being shut down for the season because of right abdominal discomfort.

Musgrove pretty obviously felt he had something to prove in what would have been two more starts in his first season with the Pirates.

"I'd like to go into the offseason feeling consistent and feeling in complete control of what I'm doing," Musgrove said last week. "I'm not going out there trying to work on certain things; I'm trying to compete and I'm going to try to put up 14 zeroes for my next two outings and try to finish on a really strong note."

The Pirates said they believe he will be able to participate in his normal offseason training and be ready for spring training.

"It's frustrating, but it's life, man," Hurdle said.

Kingham, a rookie, hasn't pitched since Sept. 8, when he appeared in two relief innings against Miami, giving up one run and two hits. His most recent start came Sept. 2 against Atlanta. He gave up one run and four hits in five innings, with four strikeouts and no walks in a no-decision.

Miley, meanwhile, has been cruising. He has won three straight starts with a 1.69 ERA in that stretch. Monday against Cincinnati, he pitched five scoreless innings and allowed five hits in an 8-0 win.

This will be his third start against Pittsburgh this season, going 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA. Overall, Miley is 2-3 with a 3.75 ERA in nine career starts against the Pirates.
