Mark Loretta comes in on a 12-game hitting streak and is hitting .360 overall.

• The rest: The Brewers are tough at their new park (19-10). They took three straight from the Reds in April to open the place. One of the big reasons for the Brewers' success is they've caught the ball. They lead the NL in fielding. They've made only 27 errors compared to 53 for the Reds.
