ST. LOUIS – The Milwaukee Brewers will try for the series victory tonight as they take on the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 2 of a doubleheader July 7 at Busch Stadium.

Left-hander Robert Gasser (1-3, 4.54), designated as the 27th man, starts for the Brewers while right-hander Hunter Dobbin (1-0, 3.63) counters for the Cardinals.
