Brewers snap 5-game losing skid

May 8, 2013 By

After being roughed up by the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers needed a solid outing by a starting pitcher and that’s exactly what they got from Wily Peralta.  The Brewers rookie right hander worked 6-solid innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits.  Peralta picked up his 3rd win (3-2) of the season.

Peralta had plenty of early help as the Brewers scored five runs in the first inning, capped off by Yuniesky Betancourt’s 8th home run of the season, a two run shot. [Read more...]

Brewers losing skid hits 5 (Audio)

April 8, 2013 By

One week into the 2013 Major League Baseball season and the Milwaukee Brewers

John Axford

John Axford

are probably thinking about how grateful they are that the season is 162 games long.  Because six games into the current campaign and the Brewers are just 1-5, riding a 5-game losing streak.

The fifth loss in that stretch came yesterday as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Brewers 8-7 in 11-innings.  Menasha, Wis. native Eric Hinske clubbed his 8th career pinch-hit home run off of John Axford in the 11th to win it.

The Brewers scored twice in the bottom of the 9th to force extra innings.  Axford came on to work a perfect 10th inning, then served up a double, followed by Hinske’s home run to get saddled with the loss. [Read more...]

Brewers beat Rockies in extra innings

April 1, 2013 By

The Milwaukee Brewers won their season opener today but needed extra innings to pull it off.  Jonathan Lucroy’s 1-out, bases loaded sacrifice fly

Miller Park

Miller Park

in the 10th inning gave the Brewers a 5-4 win at Miller Park.

The Brewers actually trailed 3-1 in the 8th but scored three runs to take a 4-3 lead.  Ryan Braun drove in a run with an infield single and Aramis Ramirez followed with a 2-run double to put the Brewers in front for the first time.

John Axford came on to preserve the win, striking out the first two batters he faced in the 9th.  Then Dexter Fowler clubbed a solo home run to right with 2-outs in the 9th inning to force extra innings and hand Axford his 1st blown save of the season.

In the 10th, Rickie Weeks was hit by a pitch, stole second.  Then Ryan Braun was intentionally walked and Aramis Ramirez followed with another walk to load the bases for Lucroy, who delivered the game winner.

Yovani Gallardo gave up 3-runs on 10-hits in 5-innings and was in line for his 3rd opening day loss but his teammates got him off the hook.

Norichka Aoki homered in the 3rd for the Brewers.  Troy Tulowitski and Carlos Gonzalez also went deep for Colorado.

The win snapped a four-game opening-day losing streak for the Brewers.

Peralta is solid in win over Angels

March 20, 2013 By

The Milwaukee Brewers won their cactus league game yesterday, a 6-1 victory over

Rickie Weeks

Rickie Weeks

the Los Angeles Angels.  Rickie Weeks, Aramis Ramirez and Sean Halton all homered in the Brewers’ victory.

Right-hander Wily Peralta was solid in his 3rd start.  Peralta pitched 6-innings, allowing just 1-run while striking out 2.

Peralta hit Angels first baseman Albert Pujols with a pitch in the 1st inning.  The ball deflected and hit home plate umpire Seth Buckminster, breaking his hand.

While the umpires were changing out equipment, the game moved on with Tim McClelland calling pitches from behind the mound.  That scenario lasted for four batters before the umpires were able to return to a 3-man crew.

The Brewers are back at it today, facing the San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale.  Chris Narveson will make the start for the Brewers.

Ramirez looking for early season changes

February 18, 2013 By

Milwaukee Brewers third baseball Aramis Ramirez has been a slow starter over his 15-year major-league career and he’s looking to change that this season.

Ramirez hit just .214 with 1 home run and 10 runs batted in during March and April last season.  Then as the calendar changes, Ramirez traditionally heats up.

Ramirez hit .274 in May last season, .295 in June and .373 in July.  He finished out hitting .305 in August and .321 to finish out the season.  His final numbers were .300 batting average, 27 home runs, 105 rbi.

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he and Ramirez have talked in the offseason with regards to making some changes.

Roenicke said this spring, with the WBC and an early start to the exhibition season, allows Ramirez to start playing games earlier if he wants to.

Roenicke said Ramirez has come into spring camp in really good shape.  Roenicke said he was in good shape last season, but he’s in even better shape this year.  He’s tired of not starting off well, and he wants to try to do something about it.
