Priester (13-2, 3.25 ERA), who has won a franchise record 12 consecutive decisions, will be opposed by left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (6-11, 4.08). Taylor Ward had two solo homers for the Angels (69-83), boosting his RBI total to 100 for the first time in his career. 'He's working through the process of trying to hurry up, and that's not always the best thing for a flexor strain,' Brewers manager Pat Murphy said prior to the game. Kikuchi is 1-4 with a 7.49 ERA over his last seven starts, allowing 28 earned runs in 33 2/3 innings. Kikuchi is 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in three career starts against Milwaukee.
