Brewers, after surge on the road, return home to face Yankees

After winning five of seven games on the road, the Milwaukee Brewers will turn to right-hander Colin Rea in an effort to keep their surge going when they return home to open a three-game series Friday night against the New York Yankees. Rea (2-0, 2.08 ERA) will be opposed by Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (1-1, 2.75). Jose Trevino's second-inning solo homer accounted for the only run as the Yankees stranded 11 and were 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Milwaukee, meanwhile, rallied for a 7-5 victory at Pittsburgh on Thursday, bailing out ace Freddy Peralta, who left trailing 5-4 after 4 2/3 innings.
