The Milwaukee Brewers will play host to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon. The Brewers defeated the Twins 7-6 in walk-off fashion on Tuesday to improve to 54-44 this year.

Corbin Burnes gets the call Wednesday for the Brewers, sporting a 7-4 record and a 2.20 ERA. The reigning NL CY Young winner has been excellent this season once again, and he'll be matched up with a very strong Twins lineup. This lineup scores the eighth-most runs per game in the MLB.
In Burnes' previous start, he only went five innings, giving up two earned runs. Over the last couple of weeks, the righty has been very dominant, surrendering just three earned runs in his last 19 1/3 innings. The Milwaukee ace will seek his eighth victory before his club starts a road trip later this week.

Chris Archer will be on the hill Wednesday for the Twins. He has been solid this season to the tune of a 3.41 ERA, and he'll be matched up with a balanced Brewers lineup that is ranked #8 in runs per game.
Last outing, Archer tossed 4 2/3 innings, surrendering five hits and four earned runs while also fanning five. Over the last several weeks, Archer has been even better, sporting a 2.70 ERA in his previous six outings. The Twins' righty has also been very good away from home this season, sporting a 2.70 road ERA in eight road appearances.
Archer's averaging under five innings per start, though, so Milwaukee will look to beat up on Minnesota's bullpen in the later innings on Wednesday.
