By Phil Watson
Major League Baseball released its tentative 2016 schedule on Tuesday and the Milwaukee Brewers are initially slated to open the season with a six-game homestand that will feature the San Francisco Giants and the expected Miller Park return of Carlos Gomez.
The Brewers are set to open the season on Monday, April 4 with a day game against the Giants to open a three-game series and then will host the Houston Astros for a three-game Friday-Sunday set.

The road games in interleague play are set for June 21-22 at Oakland, Aug. 19-21 at the Seattle Mariners and Sept. 26-28 at the Texas Rangers.
The Brewers close the campaign Sept. 30-Oct. 2 in Denver against the Colorado Rockies, with the final homestand set for Sept. 20-25 with three games each against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds.
