The Milwaukee Brewers were scuffling for the first seven weeks of the season before winning 24 of their past 35 games. The Brewers can continue their surge on Friday when they host the Colorado Rockies in the opener of a three-game series. Jose Quintana (5-2, 2.98 ERA) is scheduled to start for Milwaukee while Colorado is expected to activate fellow left-hander Kyle Freeland (1-8, 5.13) from the 15-day injured list following back stiffness. Quintana missed the last three weeks of May with a left shoulder impingement and will make his fifth start of June.
