After being off Thursday, the Brewers continue their road trip tonight, opening a weekend series in San Francisco. Zach Davies, who’s 7-0 with a 2.41 ERA goes against Giants left-hander Drew Pomeranz, who’s 1-6 with a 7.16 ERA. First pitch is at 9:15 and the game can be heard on AM1100/98.3FM, WISS. The Brewers enter tonight’s game with a one game lead over the Cubs in the Central Division while the Cardinals are four games out.
In the N.L. Central Thursday, the Braves nipped the Pirates 6-5, the Dodgers beat the Cubs 7-3 and the Cardinals and the Mets had their game suspended in the bottom of the 9th inning with the score tied at 4.
Meanwhile, Jhoulys Chacín has been cleared to come off the injured list on Monday and start the Brewers’ opener at San Diego. This according to manager Craig Counsell before the club’s finale against the Astros on Wednesday. Chacin, who has been sidelined since June 2 with a lower back strain, threw a 50-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, a positive indicator that he was nearing a return to the rotation. It’s likely he’ll throw another side session prior to his outing in vs. the Padres.

Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors captured Canada’s first NBA championship with their most remarkable road win yet in the franchise’s NBA Finals debut, outlasting the battered and depleted two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors 114-110 on Thursday night in a Game 6 that spoiled a sensational send-off at Oracle Arena.
Stephen Curry missed a contested 3-pointer in the waning moments before Golden State called a timeout it didn’t have, giving Leonard a technical free throw with 0.9 seconds left to seal it. Leonard then got behind Andre Iguodala for a layup as the buzzer sounded, but it went to review and the basket was called off before Leonard’s two free throws. That only delayed the celebration for a moment.
Curry walked away slowly, hands on his head on a night Splash Brother Klay Thompson suffered a left knee injury and departed with 30 points.
Leonard scored 22 and Kyle Lowry had 26 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
