Christian Yelich is going to have to solve a life-long nemesis if he's going to snap a season-long slump when the Milwaukee Brewers attempt to even the score against the host San Francisco Giants in a rematch Saturday afternoon.
Yelich went a painful 0-for-4 in the series opener Friday, a game in which the Giants rallied from 2-0 and 4-2 deficits to win 6-4 and extend their winning streak to three games.
Brewers manager Craig Counsell insisted before Friday's game that Yelich is the least of his worries. The third of those starts occurred last July in San Francisco, a game in which he took a shutout into the eighth before allowing a game-tying unearned run. The Giants bounced back to win 2-1, but Cobb did not get a decision.
The veteran probably won't have one of the team's chief bullpen weapons - right-hander Tyler Rogers - as a safety net Saturday after the setup man threw 33 pitches in two shutout innings while preserving a late one-run lead in the series opener.
