It has not always come easily but the Milwaukee Brewers have opened the season a perfect 4-0 on the road. Two of those victories required extra innings and only one came by more than two runs but it is still an impressive start for a team struggling at home. The Brewers will aim to record their fifth consecutive road victory when they continue a three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.
- Yadier Molina is 4-for-7 with 2 HRs in his career against Brent Suter.
- The Brewers are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road against the Cardinals.
- The Brewers are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games with Suter as the starting pitcher.
The Brew Crew will turn to Brent Suter on the mound Tuesday in hopes that the southpaw can bounce back after a tough outing. Suter was roughed up for eight hits and five runs in 5.0 innings of work against the Chicago Cubs last Thursday. The Cardinals have not been kind to Suter, with the lefty posting a 5.14 ERA in four appearances – two starts – against St. Louis last season.
Carlos Martinez, the Cardinals starter in this one, baffled the Brewers in his most recent start, allowing just two hits and no runs with 10 strikeouts in 8.1 innings. That was nothing new, though, as Martinez has a 1.98 ERA with 10.0 K/9IP in 24 career appearances against the Brewers, including 13 starts.
