Estrada returns to form, Brewers end losing skid

May 14, 2013 By

After a couple of poor outings, Marco Estrada turned in a solid performance on Monday night.  Estrada allowed just 3-hits through 7-innings and pitched the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.

The Brewers put a halt to their 4-game losing streak and it was a big turn-around for Estrada, who coughed up 8-runs on 6-hits in a loss to the Cardinals on May 5th.

Brewers win streak snapped at 9-games (AUDIO)

April 25, 2013 By

The bats went quiet last night in San Diego as the Brewers fell to the Padres 2-1 at Petco Park.  The loss snapped Milwaukee’s 9-game winning streak which was the longest since the Brewers won 10-straight in August of 2003.

Milwaukee ran into a buzz-saw on the mound in the form of Padres starter Edison Volquez (1-2).  Volquez pitched 7-shuout innings allowing just 5-hits for his first win of the year.  Brewers starter Marco Estrada (2-1) was solid despite taking his first loss of the year.  Estrada went 6 2/3 innings surrendering 2-runs, only 1-earned, on 5-hits.  His biggest blunder was surrendering a long ball to San Diego’s Carlos Quentin.  Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke was pleased with Estrada…

Brewers open big series in St. Louis tonight (Video)

April 12, 2013 By

The Milwaukee Brewers (2-6) will be well rested as they head into tonight’s series opener in St. Louis against the Cardinals (5-4).

As bad as things seem in the first week and a half, the Brewers are just 3-games behind division leading St. Louis and Cincinnati.  But their offense has been inconsistent, and their pitching has been worse.

If there’s a bright side to the setup for the Brewers, they’ll have their top 3-starting pitchers going in the series.  Kyle Lohse (0-0, 1.50 ERA) starts the opener tonight against the Cardinals Shelby Miller (1-0, 3.38 ERA).  Lohse won 16 games for the Cardinals last season before signing with the Brewers a week before the season.
