Follow the jump for everything you're used to.

The last time Randy Wolf (2-1, 3.34) pitched, the Brewers lost at home to the Pirates for the first time in 23 games.  That loss wasn't Wolf's fault, though, as he went eight strong innings and gave up just two earned runs before Trevor Hoffman blew the game.  Wolf's FIP is almost a run higher than his ERA, at 4.26, which is right at his career average.  He has faced three current Padres at least ten times.

Player	PA	Slash Line
Adrian Gonzalez	18	.353/.389/.353
David Eckstein	14	.167/.231/.167
Scott Hairston	10	.200/.200/.400

 

He'll be opposed by Jon Garland (2-2, 2.57) who's ERA is misleading.  His FIP is two runs higher at 4.65 and is giving up nearly 5 walks per nine innings with a WHIP of 1.43.  He has also faced three Brewers at least ten times.

Player	PA	Slash Line
Gregg Zaun	28	.407/.429/.444
Jody Gerut	23	.273/.304/.545
Joe Inglett	11	.300/.364/.300
