<h3>Capuano, Brewers hope to keep streak alive, face Diamondbacks</h3>



Arizona (49-46) at Milwaukee (53-40) 8:05 pm EDT


MILWAUKEE (Ticker) - To continue their recent tear, theMilwaukee Brewers turn to Chris Capuano.


Capuano and the Brewers aim for their fifth straight victorywhen they face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

On the strength of pitching by Claudio Vargas and the bullpen,Milwaukee rallied from an early 2-0 deficit to beat Arizona,3-2, on Tuesday.


The fourth straight win leaves the Brewers two wins away fromtheir longest winning stretch, a run of six in a row from May4-9. They also won five in a row on June 18-23.


The Brewers now turn to Capuano (5-6, 5.16 ERA), who is 0-6 witha 7.74 ERA in his last nine starts. The lefthander was taggedfor five runs and six hits in three innings but did not figurein the decision in a 10-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies onFriday.


It is a far cry from his first seven starts of the year, whenthe 26-year-old went 5-0 with a 2.31 ERA. Capuano is 1-2 infour career starts vs. Arizona.


The Diamondbacks, who have lost three in a row, counter withDoug Davis (6-10, 4.19). The lefthander won his last start,allowing two runs and five hits in six innings in an 8-3 victoryover the San Diego Padres on Friday.


The win gives Davis a chance to put back-to-back wins togetherfor just the second time in 2007.


Davis, who pitched for Milwaukee from 2003-2006, has never facedhis former team.
