After a tough start to their road trip, the Philadelphia Phillies are ending it with a series at what has become a hospitable venue. The surging Phillies look to extend the Milwaukee Brewers’ home losing streak to seven as they play the middle game of their weekend series Saturday. Philadelphia entered this set following a three-day stretch in Colorado that included postponements due to inclement weather and allegations of sign stealing when its bullpen coach was caught by TV cameras using binoculars. The Phillies split two games in Denver, then beat the Brewers 9-5 at Miller Park on Friday night. The Brewers, who are a major league-worst 4-12 at home, have lost six straight there for the first time since August 2004. Their last seven-game home skid in a single season was from June 20-July 13, 2002.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, has won nine of 12 overall, increasing its NL East lead to 1 1/2 games over surprising Washington. The Phillies scored nine runs for the second time in three games, getting a two-run homer from Ryan Howard. A two-time All-Star, Howard is hitting .391 with nine RBIs in his last five games at Milwaukee. Philadelphia’s lineup could get a boost with Carlos Ruiz—a .345 hitter— close to returning. Ruiz, who injured his right knee in a 4-3 loss to Colorado on Wednesday, is day to day. If Ruiz starts, he’ll catch Joe Blanton’s third outing of the year. Blanton started the season on the disabled list due to a strained oblique. The right-hander surrendered three runs in six innings of a 4-1 loss to Atlanta last Saturday. Blanton is 1-1 with a 5.30 ERA in three starts versus the Brewers. If Philadelphia can make it to the late innings with a lead, it may have closer Brad Lidge available. Medical tests on Lidge’s surgically repaired right elbow showed no structural damage. He’s expected to throw prior to Saturday’s game, and will likely be available to pitch if he has no discomfort.
