The Milwaukee Brewers carry loads of momentum into an eight-game road trip leading into the All-Star break, beginning with the first of three games at the Miami Marlins on Monday. All-Star snub Jesus Aguilar slugged two home runs to move into a tie for the National League lead with 22 as the Brewers topped the Atlanta Braves 10-3 on Sunday to finish a 6-1 homestand.
While Aguilar did not make the All-Star squad for the NL, teammates Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain did. Yelich, who spent his first five seasons with the Marlins before being traded to Milwaukee this offseason, is returning to Miami for the first time since the deal. His former team is coming off an impressive showing in a 10-2 win at Washington on Sunday, piling up a season-high 22 hits – including a career-high five by first-time All-Star J.T. Realmuto – to avoid a four-game sweep. Realmuto has a double and a single in five career at-bats against Chase Anderson, who starts the series opener for the Brewers opposite Jose Urena.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (6-6, 3.99 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Jose Urena (2-9, 4.18)
Anderson has found the groove that enabled him to sport a sub-3.00 ERA last year, allowing three runs on seven hits in 17 1/3 innings over his last three starts. He has walked just two batters over the past two outings after issuing 11 free passes through the previous four starts. The 30-year-old allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings to defeat the Marlins at home in April and is 3-2 with a 4.04 ERA in six career matchups.
Urena has two scoreless outings in his last three starts after blanking Tampa Bay over five frames Wednesday. He owns a solid 3.88 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 10 starts at home but is 0-7 at Marlins Park. For his career, the 26-year-old sports an odd split of 7-21 with a 4.02 ERA at home and 14-9, 5.28 on the road.
WALK-OFFS
1. Aguilar, who is on the “Final Vote” ballot and could still be selected as the NL’s last All-Star player, is 5-for-11 with three home runs, one double and seven RBIs over his last three games.
2. Realmuto is 13-for-33 in July.
3. Cain (groin) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday while RHP Aaron Wilkerson was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
PREDICTION: Brewers 5, Marlins 3
