Please win today Brew Crew.
Geoff Jenkins' recent power outage is the worst he's experienced.
Jenkins, who enters Sunday with seven home runs on the season, has gone a career-high 127 at-bats without a homer. He hasn't circled the bases since he blasted a two-run shot on May 20 against Minnesota. Jenkins' previous high drought was 80 at-bats late in the 2003 season.
In each of the last three seasons, Jenkins has hit at least 25 home runs. Still, Brewers manager Ned Yost said he's not concerned about Jenkins, who ranks fourth on the club's all-time home run list with 181 long balls.
"The three-spot's not a time to be a power spot, the four-spot is and the five-spot," Yost said. "Jenks is a guy who has always been a streaky hitter. He's a guy who can get up there and hit six or seven home runs in the span of a week. When he gets hot, he has the opportunity to carry a team."
The Brewers face rookie left-hander Francisco Liriano, who made his season debut as a starter on May 19 at Miller Park. Liriano threw five innings, striking out five and allowing two hits and an earned run.
No Brewer notched more than a hit off Liriano. Yost said he hasn't determined his order for Sunday.
"I'm still mulling over the lineup," he said.
Pitching matchup
MIL: LHP Zach Jackson (1-0, 4.70 ERA)
Jackson faced the Cubs in his last start at Wrigley Field and surrendered three runs in 5 2/3 innings, with two of the runs coming on a homer by Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano. The Brewers have won three of Jackson's four Major League starts, and he has struck out 17 batters versus just three walks.
MIN: LHP Francisco Liriano (8-1, 2.21 ERA)
The 22-year-old southpaw continues to steamroll through difficult offenses. His latest was the Dodgers, as he held the club to just two runs on five hits over seven innings.
Player to watch
Bill Hall has five hits against the Twins this season, including a home run, with three RBIs and two runs.
