When the Milwaukee Brewers faced the Chicago Cubs earlier this month, they dropped two of three despite putting 19 runs on the board. The Brewers scored more than that in their last game alone. Offensive fireworks could be in store this weekend when the sizzling Brewers return home for a three-game set with the NL Central rival Cubs.These teams played an entertaining series at Wrigley Field from April 12-15, with the Cubs outscoring the Brewers 22-19 and both clubs plating at least five runs in each game. Milwaukee appeared bound for a disastrous nine-game trip after leaving Chicago and dropping its first two in Washington by a combined 13-3 score, but its dangerous lineup has since ignited. The Brewers beat the Nationals 11-7 in that series’ finale before sweeping a three-game set in Pittsburgh, outscoring the Pirates 36-1. Milwaukee concluded its trip Thursday with a 20-0 rout, the fifth-most lopsided shutout in the major leagues since 1900.

Braun’s three hits Thursday raised his average to .417, and he’s 8 for 16 with two homers and eight RBIs during the Brewers’ four-game winning streak. He also thrived in the series at Wrigley, going 7 for 14 with two homers and seven RBIs. Prince Fielder ended his April drought Thursday with his first home run, and Jim Edmonds and Rickie Weeks each doubled twice as 12 of Milwaukee’s 25 hits went for extra bases. Fielder believes the Brewers are surging because they’re having fun again. One of Braun’s home runs against the Cubs came off Ryan Dempster, who will get the ball for Chicago on Friday. The right-hander got his only win April 12 against Milwaukee in a 9-5 victory despite allowing season highs of five runs, seven hits and four walks in 6 1-3 innings. He’s 12-3 with a 2.88 ERA lifetime versus the Brewers - the only opponent he’s defeated more than nine times.
