Braun out of lineup for series finale
After toying with the idea for a couple weeks, manager Ken Macha finally gave left fielder Ryan Braun the day off on Thursday. In his place, he started Joe Inglett, who was in the starting lineup for the first time since the Brewers road series in Minnesota in late May.

Here’s the rest of the lineup:
Weeks 2B
