LHP, 5-9, 4.53 ERA At Miller Park, Milwaukee: Ray struck out a career-high 10 batters in his last appearance Saturday against the Reds, but it wasn’t enough as a three-run homer by Jay Bruce sealed Ray’s fourth loss in his past six starts. … Since May 11, Ray ranks fourth in the National League in strikeouts with 100; he’s also struck out at least five batters in 19 consecutiv­e starts, which is tied with the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez for the longest streak in the majors this season. … This will be Ray’s first career appearance against the Brewers. … Davies has been steady for the Brewers this season; in his last 14 starts, he’s 7-1 with a 2.84 ERA. … Against the NL Central-leading Cubs Saturday, Davies allowed only one run on three hits in 6 1/3 innings. … Of his 17 games, nine have been quality starts.
