The Rockies are dealing with injuries to several key stars, but the Brewers know they're still facing a really good team.
"If you put their three guys who are hurting into the lineup, that's the best lineup in baseball for me," manager Ron Roenicke told MLB.com. "I know there are some really good lineups, and there are some good lineups in the other league, also. But with those three guys in there, for me, that's the best offense."
Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is hitting .318 (7-for-22) lifetime against Lohse and leads the entire MLB with a .352 batting average while ranking second in the NL with 18 homers. Tulowitzki also leads the majors in runs (61), on-base percentage (.477), slugging percentage (.625) and OPS (1.072).
