over the Miami Marlins on Monday night.  It’s the 4th straight win for the Brewers.

Jonathan Lucroy had 4 hits while Carlos Gomez and Rickie Weeks had 3-hits each, all while playing without Ryan Braun, who is sitting out while trying to rest his sore thumb.

Yovani Gallardo worked 8 strong innings, walking one and striking out four, dropping his earned-run average from 5.25 to 4.74.

Gallardo also struck out his 1,000th career hitter, becoming the third Brewers pitcher to reach the 1,000 strikeout milestone.  The others are Ben Sheets and Teddy Higuera.

Braun was held out of the lineup to rest his sore right hand.  He’s expected to get the entire series off.  Logan Schafer took his place in left field last night.

Wily Peralta (4-7, 6.16) pitches for the Brewers tonight against Miami’s Jacob Turner (1-0, 0.69).

Braun continued to be bothered by thumb injury

June 10, 2013 By

Milwaukee Brewers leftfielder Ryan Braun was pulled early from Sunday’s game (3rd inning) because of right thumb soreness.

Manager Ron Roenicke said he doesn’t want to put Braun on the disabled list, but it’s getting to the point where that may have to be considered.

Braun told Roenicke on Sunday that he wanted to play and didn’t want to leave the game.  But Braun also knows this isn’t getting any better.

Jim Henderson

The Brewers activated closer Jim Henderson on Sunday and he pitched the 9th inning in a non-save situation.  Henderson ran his fastball up to 97 mph and showed no lingering signs of the hamstring injury that originally landed him on the disabled list.

Major League Baseball investigates (Google Hangout)

June 6, 2013 By

Ryan Braun avoided a suspension once, now Major League Baseball is after Braun and a number of other players a second time, trying to show their association with Tony Bosch and the Miami Biogenesis clinic that he ran.

Did Braun use PED’s?  If so, will he escape penalty again?  If he doesn’t, how will that hurt his image with the Brewers and their fans.

Those questions and more come up in a google hangout with me, Bill Pollock from Missourinet and Justin Hull from WSCO Radio in Appleton.

Braun said the speculation is not affecting him on the field.  He said he’s dealt with this for a couple of years now and he is pretty good at avoiding distractions.

Greinke loses his first at Miller Park

May 22, 2013 By

After 15-straight wins, Zach Greinke finally lost a game at Miller Park.  It came last night in a 5-2 Brewers win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Mike Fiers earned the win, the first of five relievers to pitch scoreless relief against the Dodgers.

The Brewers chased Greinke from the game in the fifth inning, scoring three times with nobody out.  Ryan Braun singled in a run and Carlos Gomez doubled home two more to put the Brewers up 4-2.

The Dodgers went to the bullpen and the Brewers scored on Yuniesky Betancourt’s infield out.

The series is tied 1-1.  The rubber match is today at 12:10pm at Miller Park.
