The Milwaukee Brewers aim to recover from a recent slump as they face the Oakland Athletics in a three-game series. After a shutout loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Brewers expect Blake Perkins to return from injury to face Oakland's lefty JP Sears, who has been strong in recent starts. Recently acquired pitcher Frankie Montas has bolstered the Brewers’ rotation, maintaining a 2.57 ERA through four starts. Devin Williams has also been a key player, demonstrating exceptional closing skills in high-pressure situations. The Brewers are currently leading the NL Central, with a strong recent record of seven wins in their last ten games.
