The Pittsburgh Pirates snapped a seemingly interminable losing streak in Milwaukee during their last visit, and actually left with a series victory. Any success away from home seems like a distant memory right now. Pittsburgh has lost 21 of 23 road games since late May, but the Brewers head into Friday night’s series opener at Miller Park with their own issues after suffering a four-game home sweep. The Pirates had lost 22 consecutive games in Milwaukee before twice beating Trevor Hoffman in late April, earning two late-inning victories to end their lengthy hex at Miller Park. Every other opposing venue has been equally inhospitable for Pittsburgh over the past six weeks. The Pirates have been outscored 125-54 while going 2-21 away from home since May 26. They delivered their most inept offensive performance yet Thursday afternoon in Houston, recording one hit in a 2-0 loss to Roy Oswalt and the Astros.

While Milwaukee would typically be thrilled to host Pittsburgh, it’ll have some serious work to do to erase the memories of its series this week with San Francisco. The Brewers had won 9 of 14 prior to the Giants’ visit, but were outscored 36-7 in a four-game sweep that concluded with a 9-3 loss Thursday. Milwaukee may have a good chance to get its offense going against Paul Maholm. Maholm delivered his second disastrous outing in his last three Saturday against Philadelphia, allowing eight runs and 10 hits over three innings of a 12-4 loss. The left-hander surrendered seven runs and recorded only three outs in a 13-3 loss at Texas on June 23. Maholm is 1-6 with a 5.27 ERA in 13 starts against Milwaukee since 2007. He’s allowed four runs over seven innings in each of two starts versus the Brewers this season. One Brewer who won’t relish facing Maholm is Prince Fielder. Milwaukee’s first baseman is 3 for 40 with 12 strikeouts against the Pirates’ lefty.
