The Dodgers begin their roadtrip in Milwaukee tonight at 5:05 before heading back to LA to visit the Angels in the first Interleague series of the year.
The Dodgers will still be without Rafael Furcal, who was placed on the 15-day DL for stiffness in his back. The move is retroactive back from May 6, which means Furcal could rejoin the team as early as May 21. Infielder Luis Maza will likely be called up from Triple A Las Vegas to replace Furcal; it will be the first time in the Majors for the 27 year old.
The Dodgers will look to snap their current four game losing streak with the help of Brad Penny, who is 3-2 with a 4.74 ERA lifetime against the Brewers. Penny will look to get back into his groove after being tagged for 10 runs in 4 2/3 innings in his last outing, a loss to the Mets. The Brewers will start Carlos Villanueva, who is 1-4 with a 6.46 ERA. The Dodgers went 3-3 against the Brewers last season.
