Milwaukee Brewers Face Reds, Cubs in Crucial NL Central Series

The Milwaukee Brewers are riding a 12-game winning streak and look to match their franchise record of 13 straight wins as they begin a crucial week against division rivals Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs. Jacob Misiorowski is set to make a short rehab start, with fresh pitcher DL Hall expected to follow. Meanwhile, the Seattle Mariners continue their road trip with right-hander Luis Castillo, who boasts the lowest ERA in franchise history among pitchers with at least 500 innings for the team, taking the mound against the New York Mets. The Arizona Diamondbacks, despite an 8-4 run since the trade deadline, remain below .500 and face a tough schedule ahead, making their playoff chances uncertain. The Washington Nationals, welcoming back Dylan Crews from injury, will face the Philadelphia Phillies, who feature several former Nationals players and are favored on paper, though the Nationals hope Crews' return will energize the team.
