Capuano tries to stop the Twins tonight.

Brewers manager Ned Yost could sense Bill Hall was starting to feel a little sluggish.

Since mid-May, Hall has started every game but two, one of which came against Kansas City last week when he was sick. He has just two hits in his last 16 at-bats and has struck out 11 times in the last five games.

Chris Barnwell started at shortstop Friday night and might get the nod on Saturday, Yost said. Barnwell recorded just one of five singles against Minnesota and knocked in one of two runs for his first career RBI.

"It's a chance to give him a little bit of a break," Yost said of Hall. "He's been striking out lately and that's kind of a sign where they're starting to drag a little bit."

Hall is hitting .268 with 16 home runs -- one short of tying a career high.

The Brewers are 6-7 in Interleague Play this season. Until Friday's 8-2 loss to the Twins, they were the only team in the National League Central, and one of just four in the entire NL, without a losing record against their American League counterparts.

Despite dropping below .500 against the AL, the Brewers still own the fifth-best record among National League clubs in Interleague Play. They're 1-3 against the Twins this season.

Pitching matchup
MIL: LHP Chris Capuano (9-4, 3.10 ERA)
Capuano put together his 16th quality start in 17 outings with eight-plus scoreless innings on Monday night at Wrigley Field. He dodged a bullet in the bottom of the ninth when an Aramis Ramirez line drive struck him on the left forearm, inches from his surgically-repaired elbow. But the team described it as a bruise, and Capuano said he expects to make his next start. It will be his final outing before All-Star rosters are announced on Sunday, and a number of Brewers expect Capuano to be on that list.

MIN: RHP Carlos Silva (4-8, 6.43 ERA)
The right-hander has worked to pitch more and throw less during many of his recent starts, and it appears to be working. Once Silva has gotten some early kinks out during his outing, he seems to be able to calm things down, to the point of giving up just two hits over his last five innings against the Dodgers. He pitched a complete game in just 74 pitches against the Brewers last year.

Player to watch
Prince Fielder needs one home run to tie the club record for homers in a season by a rookie. Fielder, who hit one on Monday against the Chicago Cubs, has 16 home runs this season -- most among National League rookies.
