Brewers late heroics fall short against Astros (AUDIO)

By

Craig Counsell

Christian Yelich clubbed a game-tying home run in the ninth inning, but Milwaukee reliever Junior Guerra gave up a solo homer to George Springer in the top of the 10th as the Houston Astros pulled out a 3-2, 10-inning win in the series opener at Miller Park.

Yasmani Grandal also homered for the Brewers other run.

Yelich was called out on strikes in the bottom of the tenth for the second time in the game.  The other came in the sixth inning.  Both calls by home plate umpire Ben May were high and out of the strike zone and it had the Brewers plenty mad.

“It’s two awful calls,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.  “I have to say it.  It’s the magnitude of the spot, it’s the hitter.  It’s bad calls.  It’s bad umpiring.”

With reporters surrounding Yelich’s locker after the game, the Brewers right-fielder avoided going off on the umpire to avoid a fine by the league. [Read more…]

Davies suffers setback

By

 

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Zach Davies was scheduled to pitch for Class A Wisconsin on a rehab assignment on Friday.  Instead, Davies will skip that start and undergo an MRI to try to figure out what is causing his ongoing back stiffness.

Davies first went on the disabled list on May 30 with a shoulder issue.  During his rehab process, he began experiencing lower back tightness, which has been a concern since then.

Davies won 17 games for the Brewers a year ago but has made only eight starts this year, posting a 2-5 record and a 5.23 ERA.

After losing Brent Suter with a UCL injury, it leaves Brewers general manager David Stearns potentially pursuing a starter before the MLB trade deadline at the end of the month.

The Milwaukee Brewers improved to 2-2 since the all-star break, knocking off the Washington Nationals 6-1 in their series opener at Miller Park on Monday.

Christian Yelich clubbed a three-run triple in the sixth inning to bust open a close game.  Erik Kratz also drove in a pair of runs to back Jhoulys Chacin, who improved to 9-3.  Chacin allowed a run on two hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out nine and walking nobody.  It’s the second straight outing for Chacin without issuing a free pass.

Washington’s only run came on a Daniel Murphy home run to start the second inning.

Josh Hader, Brandon Woodruff, Dan Jennings and Jacob Barnes combined for 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to close out the win.

Suter headed for surgery

The Brewers and left hander Brent Suter received bad news earlier in the day.  An MRI revealed Suter has a torn ulnar collateral ligament that will require Tommy John surgery. [Read more…]

Matt Kemp homered twice to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 11-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday at Miller Park.  The loss for the Brewers is their 9th in the last 11 games, as they dropped two of three in the series.

The Dodgers hit Brewers starter Brent Suter hard and continued their assault on reliever Taylor Williams.  Suter left after three innings with a left forearm strain, the same injury that landed him on the 10-day disabled list previously.  Manager Craig Counsell said Suter is headed back for another stint on the DL.

“It’s a really disappointing setback,” said Suter.  “I’m really disappointed for letting the team down today.  I didn’t pitch well and then I got hurt to boot.  It was just a real disappointing day.

Suter allowed six earned runs on eight hits.  His replacement, Taylor Williams allowed five runs, three of which were earned, in just one inning of work.  In two outings since the all-star break, Williams has allowed nine hits and seven runs (5 earned) in two innings. [Read more…]

The Kansas City Royals entered their two-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers as the lowest scoring team in the majors, but they exploded for five runs in the seventh inning to pull out a 5-4 win at Miller Park.

Mike Moustakas got the ball rolling with a solo home run off of Brewers starter Brent Suter to tie the game 1-1.

After three straight Royals reached base, Craig Counsell went to his bullpen.  Jeremy Jeffress got the first out, then went to left Josh Hader, who couldn’t seal the deal.

Adalberto Mondesi’s 2-run single off of Hader gave the Royals a 3-1 lead.  Lucas Duda followed with a sacrifice fly to center to make it 4-1.  Whit Merrifield’s run scoring single made it 5-1 Kansas City.

Hader allowed more than one hit in an inning for the first time in 27 appearances this season. [Read more…]

Peralta wins his Miller Park debut

By

Freddy Peralta

22-year-old Milwaukee Brewers rookie Freddy Peralta tossed seven innings of one-hit ball while striking out 10 in a 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.

Peralta, who had previously used his fastball about 85% of the time, threw more curve balls on Tuesday night and he was throwing them for strikes, improving to 3-0 on the season.

With Zach Davies set to make at least one more rehab start on Friday night in Appleton, which means Peralta will get another start for the Brewers when he faces the Reds in Cincinnati on Sunday.  After that, who knows.

“That hasn’t been a conversation,” manager Craig Counsell said.  “If he keeps pitching like that, it’s going to lead to more starts, for sure.”

Christian Yelich got things rolling with a home run in the first inning, swinging on a 3-0 count.  Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar also went deep.  Aguilar clubbed his 17th home run of the season.

Brent Suter (8-4) pitches the series finale for the Brewers this afternoon at Miller Park.
