The Brewers try to get back on track tonight at Wrigley Field after being swept by the Cubs in a doubleheader.

CHICAGO – On the heels of a disappointing doubleheader sweep, the Milwaukee Brewers look to get back on track against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, Aug. 20.

Rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (4-1, 3.89) starts for Milwaukee while right-hander Colin Rea (9-5, 3.99), a former Brewer, counters for Chicago.

The team also made several roster moves ahead of the game, recalling right-hander Carlos Rodriguez, optioning right-hander Tobias Myers to Class AAA Nashville and returning Chad Patrick to Nashville.

Rodriguez's only other appearance for Milwaukee this season came on May 22 in Pittsburgh, where he bridged both ends of a rain-delayed game and earned his first career major-league win.
