NL: ARIZONA (49-44) at MILWAUKEE (51-40) <h3>Brewers seek third straight win in series opener</h3> Arizona (49-44) at Milwaukee (51-40) 8:05 pm EDT MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers look to extend theirwinning streak to three games when they open a three-game seriesagainst the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Dave Bush (7-7, 4.86 ERA) takes the ball for Milwaukee with thehopes of repeating his last performance. The 6-2 righthanderyielded one run in seven innings at Washington on July 6. Bush is undefeated in two starts with a 3.38 ERA againstArizona, which has lost five straight road games. The Diamondbacks counters with rookie Micah Owings (5-4, 4.84),who has not won in his last four outings. He was tagged for sixruns and six hits in 4 2/3 frames at Cincinnati in his laststart. Owings, who is also winless in his last two road games, will bemaking his first career appearence vs. the Brewers, who are 8-7against the National League West Division this season. Prior to winning their last two games against the ColoradoRockies, the Brewers had dropped eight of 11 contests. Milwaukee struggled in its last two games as well but perseveredthanks to some clutch late-game hitting. Tony Graffaninoblooped a pinch-hit game-winning RBI single Saturday to lift theBrewers to a 2-1 victory in 10 innings. Less than 24 hours later, Kevin Mench plated the go-ahead runwith a pinch-hit RBI double in the seventh inning of Milwaukee's4-3 triumph. Arizona also has trudged through a stretch of bad baseball,dropping 12 of its last 17 contests.
