If you had told me this time last week that the Brewers would go 2–4 on their roadtrip through the two cities whose teams sit at the bottom of the AL Central, I probably would have believed you. None of this team's hardships surprise me much anymore, so at this point Ryan Braun could sprout a third arm or Tim Dillard develops a grotesquely swollen jaw from some nerve tonic and I'd shrug it off (just imagine all the Braun PED conspiracy theories and hate if that actually happened).With that, welcome to Miller Park, Blue Jays. Toronto just swept the Phillies and now sit a game above .500, good for fourth and 6.5 back in the AL East bloodbath. It's the team's second visit to the park: the Brewers swept them at The Keg in 2008. Surprisingly, this is only the third time these two teams have faced since Milwaukee moved to the National League in 1998. The Brewers took 2 out of 3 in 2005 at what was then the Skydome, and hadn't played each other since 1997 before that. Despite this, the two teams have made some notable trades over the years, which I will touch on after the jump.In watching the series, please consider the following:
