Baltimore Orioles (37-34) at Milwaukee Brewers (39-33), 8:05 p.m.

(Sports Network) - Miller Park has treated the Milwaukee Brewers well so far this season and will be site for this evening's opener of a three-game interleague series between the club and the Baltimore Orioles.

Milwaukee has won four in a row and completed a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with Thursday's 8-7 victory behind a strong performance from starting pitcher Dave Bush. Bush took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and allowed one run on just two hits and a walk through eight frames.

Russell Branyan belted a three-run homer and Prince Fielder finished with two hits, including a home run, for the Brewers, who are 4-2 on a nine-game homestand and 23-12 as the host this season.

Jeff Suppan gets the nod for the Brew Crew tonight and will put his perfect home record on the line. Suppan is 2-0 with a 1.67 earned run average in six trips to the Miller Park mound this season, but did not record a decision his last time there. In a 9-4 loss versus Minnesota on Saturday, Suppan held the Twins to a pair of runs on seven hits in seven frames.

Suppan is 2-0 over his past four outings to improve to 4-4 with a 3.68 ERA in 14 trips to the hill in 2008. The right-hander is 3-3 with a 4.86 earned run average through eight career starts against Baltimore.

The Orioles wrapped up a six-game homestand by sweeping the Houston Astros in three games at Camden Yards, and will now kick off a nine-game road trip against the Brewers, Cubs and Nationals. Baltimore is 15-22 on the road this season.

In Thursday's 7-5 victory over Houston, Alex Cintron homered, scored twice and finished with three hits to lead the way. Ramon Hernandez and Aubrey Huff also homered for the Orioles, who have won five of six games.

Orioles starter Brian Burres gave up three runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, fanning three and walking two to get the win for Baltimore, which is 11-5 over its last 16 games.

Radhames Liz will handle pitching duties for the O's tonight and is 1-0 with a 4.32 earned run average in three starts this season. Liz last took the mound on Saturday versus Pittsburgh and did not factor in the outcome of an 8-7 victory. He allowed four runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings, while striking out five batters and issuing only one walk.

The right-hander will be facing Milwaukee for the first time.

Milwaukee and Baltimore are meeting for the first time since the Orioles won two of three games at home from the Brewers in June of 2003. Baltimore is 7-2 in interleague play this season, while the Brewers are 4-5 against the American League.
