HOW TO WATCH: Brewers vs. Diamondbacks Game 2
The Chicago Cubs were eliminated from any postseason possibilities while in Milwaukee last weekend, but two of their announcers are back in the American Family Field press box.
The team of Jon "Boog" Sciambi and Doug Glanville are scheduled to call the wild card games between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Arizona Diamondbacks on ESPN2 this week.
In addition to working for ESPN, Sciambi and Glanville are both part of the Cubs TV broadcasting group on the Marquee Sports Network during the regular season. So they'll be familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the Brewers.
And Sciambi might put a little extra play-by-play effort into any wall-crashing play by Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick as both he and Frelick attended Boston College.

Regular-season series between Diamondbacks and Brewers
Arizona won two out of three against the Brewers in both matchups this season. A look at those games:
April 10: Arizona 3, Milwaukee 0. Zac Gallen allowed three hits in seven innings with 11 strikeouts, and Christian Walker's two run homer off Wade Miley provided most of the damage.
April 11: Milwaukee 7, Arizona 1. The Brewers scored all their runs in the seventh or later. Willy Adames homered off Merrill Kelly leading off the seventh to spark a five-run rally and break up a scoreless game. Corbin Burnes was outstanding, delivering a start that manager Craig Counsell considered the best of his career. He permitted three hits in eight innings with no runs and eight strikeouts.
April 12: Arizona 7, Milwaukee 3. Making his only start of the year, Janson Junk allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks in 4 2/3 innings. Milwaukee had 11 hits (three by William Contreras) but went 2 for 10 with runners in scoring position.
June 19: Arizona 9, Milwaukee 1. Kelly (one run, seven innings, three hits) easily out-dueled Burnes, who allowed seven runs -- including six in the first -- on eight hits and two walks in five innings. Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll both homered.
June 20: Milwaukee 7, Arizona 5. The Brewers rallied for four runs in the seventh, with Contreras' two-run double flipping the lead. The Brewers bullpen pitched 3 ⅔ scoreless.
June 21: Arizona 5, Milwaukee 1. Gallen allowed just one run in seven innings, and though Julio Teheran threw five shutout innings, Elvis Peguero and Trevor Megill both allowed multiple runs in relief. Raimel Tapia homered off Gallen, but the Brewers defense had a rare off game.
