Road struggles continue for the Brewers in Pittsburgh

By

The Milwaukee Brewers continue to search for the consistency necessary to win games.  At the start of their shortened 60-game season, the pitching was good and the hitting was almost missing in action.  The offense, while inconsistent, was starting to come around a little bit and now both the offense and the pitching is failing them.

That formula continued on Saturday in Pittsburgh, where the Brewers fell to the Pirates 12-5.  That’s three straight losses and four out of the last five on the road trip.  They’ll try to salvage a .500 record on the 10-game road trip, if they can avoid a sweep against the Pirates.

The Brewers struggle to hit and score runs was on full display in the third innings.  After Mark Mathias led off with a double, he advanced to third on an errant pickoff throw by pitcher Derek Holland.  With nobody out, Orlando Arcia struck out, Ryan Braun popped out and Christian Yelich grounded out.

The Brewers finally put a run on the board against Holland in the fourth when Jedd Gyorko hit a deep home run to left field to tie the score 1-1. [Read more…]

Inconsistent offense leads to another Brewers loss

By

Every time you think the Milwaukee Brewers offense is starting to show some signs of stringing together some success, they struggle to keep it going.  That was the case again on Thursday night when they failed to get a hit until the fifth inning and watched the Minnesota Twins pull away for a 7-1 victory at Target Field.

Twins starter Jose Berrios entered the game with a 1-3 record and a 5.92 ERA.  He pitched six innings of one-hit ball, walking one and striking out nine.

Minnesota had chances to add to their 1-0 lead, but a pair of solid defensive plays by the Brewers, kept the Twins off the scoreboard.

The Twins would finally add a run in the sixth inning, chasing Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff (1-2) and pushing their lead to 2-0 on a sacrifice fly off of reliever Freddy Peralta.

The Brewers cut the lead in half in the seventh when Justin Smoak clubbed a solo home run.  But Minnesota came right back in the bottom half, increasing the lead to 4-1 when Nelson Cruz clubbed a two-run homer.

The Twins then blew the game open in the eighth, scoring three runs off of Angel Perdomo.

The loss dropped the Brewers back below .500 at 11-12.  They’ll open a three-game series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates on Friday night.  Adrian Houser (1-1, 3.27) pitches for the Brewers.  Chad Kuhl (0-1, 3.21) goes for the Pirates.

 

Brewers pitcher Eric Lauer hoping to be ready for season opener (AUDIO)

Eric Lauer

Newly acquired left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer is one of three players on the Milwaukee Brewers injured list, joining former San Diego teammate Luis Urias and left-handed pitcher Angel Perdomo, all related to COVID-19.

Urias and Perdomo both tested positive for the coronavirus and are in quarantine.  Lauer was forced to delay his return to the team because he came into close contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus.  According to protocol, Lauer had to quarantine despite not testing positive himself.

Lauer is expected to pitch a bullpen on Tuesday and both he and manager Craig Counsell said he could remain on track to be on the team’s opening day roster. [Read more…]

Two Brewers test positive for COVID-19

By

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced Monday that two players, infielder Luis Urias and pitcher Angel Perdomo, tested positive for COVID-19.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Counsell said both players tested positive before last week’s intake for summer camp.  They’re both asymtomatic and are currently in COVID-19 protocol.

It’s another setback for Urias, who was acquired by the Brewers in the offseason in a trade with the San Diego Padres.  Urias sat out all spring after surgery on his left hand for a broken hamate bone.  Urias had worked his way back from the injury and was set to see his first Cactus League action when games were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 26-year-old Perdomo got off to a great start in the spring, striking out 10 batters and allowing just one hit over four innings.

It’s a minor setback for both and Counsell said the Brewers expect them to contribute to the team this season.
