The Milwaukee Brewers chase for the Central Division title has quickly changed to now protecting their lead for the top NL Wildcard.  The Brewers managed just three hits and fell to the Cincinnati Reds 3-1 on Tuesday night at Miller Park.

The Chicago Cubs all but wrapped up the division race with a 9-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, increasing their lead on the Brewers to 3 1/2 games.  But the Brewers also have the top Wild Card position to worry about.  Their lead on the St. Louis Cardinals is now down to two games.

Another poor outing for Brewers starter Chase Anderson.  Anderson allowed all three runs in less than four innings to get tagged with the loss.

Cincinnati’s Jose Peraza clubbed a two-run homer in the first inning off of Anderson and that was all the Reds would need. [Read more…]

Quintana continues his dominance of Milwaukee

By

Jose Quintana’s dominance of the Milwaukee Brewers continued on Tuesday night when he blanked the Brewers for six-plus innings on three hits in a 3-0 Cubs victory.

In nine attempts since Quintana came to the Cubs in the middle of last season, the Brewers have managed to win just once, a 7-0 win back on Aug. 14 at Wrigley Field.  Take that game away and Quintana is 7-0 with a 0.81 earned run average in the other eight outings.

What’s puzzling for the Brewers is that Quintana has a 4.54 ERA for the season.  He earned his 13th win overall.

Victor Caratini had a RBI single in the second and a run scoring double in the 7th as the Cubs extended their lead over the Brewers to two games in the National League Central. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers started slow, falling behind Cincinnati 2-0 but they eventually rallied to beat the Reds 5-2 in their series opener at Miller Park on Monday night.

Chase Anderson coughed up a pair of solo home runs but settled down to pitch six-innings and earn his 8th win (8-7) of the season.

Christian Yelich and Travis Shaw homered in the fifth and sixth innings, while Josh Hader and Jeremy Jeffress tossed three innings of scoreless relief.  Brewers pitchers allowed the Reds just three hits.

Eugenio Suarez and Phillip Ervin clubbed solo homers for the Reds.

The Brewers handed Homer Bailey (1-11) his 11th loss of the season.

Milwaukee added insurance in the 8th off of former Brewer Jared Hughes, who opened the inning by walking Ryan Braun.  Keon Broxton came on to drive home Braun with a run scoring triple.  Manny Pina’s sacrifice fly to center field ended the scoring for the Brewers.

Junior Guerra pitches game two of the series for the Brewers tonight.  Cincinnati will counter with Sal Romano.

19 hits isn’t enough for Brewers

By

Manager Craig Counsell

The Milwaukee Brewers collected 19 hits on Sunday, yet still fell to the Atlanta Braves 8-7.

Brewers starter Chase Anderson struggled from the start and made it through just four innings before manager Craig Counsell was forced to go to the bullpen.  It’s the second straight outing that Anderson has been unable to make it to the fifth inning and protect a lead.

Corey Knebel, who is no longer working in a closer capacity was entrusted with the fifth inning and he proved he wasn’t able to handle that spot either.  He allowed a run after a pair of one-out doubles by Freddie Freeman and Nick Markakis.

Rookie Corbin Burnes coughed up a two-run homer in the sixth and Atlanta’s Ozzie Albies finished off the Braves comeback with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the seventh off of Dan Jennings.

The 19 hits were offset by the Brewers going 4 for 14 with runners in scoring position and leaving 13 runners on base.  They fell to 17-30 in day games and are now 4-15 on Sunday’s. [Read more…]

Brewers blow lead and fall to Padres

By

The Milwaukee Brewers jumped out to a 4-0 lead but Chase Anderson couldn’t get out of the fifth inning and the Brewers fell to the San Diego Padres 11-5 on Tuesday night at Miller Park.

The Padres scored at least one run in each of the final seven innings and all four Brewers relievers gave up at least one run.  Josh Hader took the loss, his first since September of last season.

Chase Anderson retired the first six batters, then walked Franmil Reyes to start the third as the downward trend began.  Anderson struggled to get control of his curve ball and left too many pitches out over the plate.

Jesus Aguilar and Mike Moustakas each clubbed two-run homers to stake the Brewers to the early lead.

It’s the second straight loss for the Brewers, who fell 2 1/2 games behind the Central Division leading Chicago Cubs, who blanked Kansas City.

Jhoulys Chacin gets the nod in game two of the series for the Brewers on Wednesday night.

Dodgers beat Brewers in a walkoff

By

Matt Albers gave up a two-run homer to Yasmani Grandal in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Milwaukee Brewers lost 6-4 to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

The Brewers trailed 4-2 in the eighth inning before drawing even.  Mike Moustakas clubbed a run scoring double to make it 4-3 and Manny Pina’s rbi single tied the game 4-4.

The Dodgers missed chances to take the lead in the bottom of the 8th and then a chance to win it in the 9th.  But in the 10th, Matt Kemp singled and Grandal followed with the walk-off home run.

Pina and Lorenzo Cain both had three hits for the Brewers in the loss.

Chase Anderson retired the first 12 batters he faced before surrendering solo home runs to Grandal and newly acquired infielder Brian Dozier.

The Brewers dropped to 5-2 on their current eight-game road trip out west.  They also dropped a game behind the Chicago Cubs in the Central Division standings after the Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-2 earlier.

The final game of the series is tonight at 8 p.m.  Jhoulys Chacin (10-3, 3.45) gets the call for the Brewers.  Clayton Kershaw (4-5, 2.52) goes for the Dodgers.

Chase Anderson and two relievers combined on a two-hitter as the Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Chicago Cubs 4-0 at Miller Park on Tuesday night.  It’s just the second win against the Cubs this season and ended a 7-game losing streak against their rivals to the south.

Anderson gave up just one hit in seven innings to even his record at 5-5.  Anderson walked two and struck out six.

Travis Shaw was the hitting hero for the Brewers, driving in all four runs with a pair of two-run doubles in the first and third innings.

The win moved the Brewers back into first place in the NL Central, by a half game over the Cubs.

The Brewers and Cubs will close out their three game series this afternoon.  Jhoulys Chacin will get the start for the Brewers.  Mike Montgomery gets the nod for the Cubs.  First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m.

Albers on the DL

The Brewers have placed pitcher Matt Albers on the 10-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain.  They recalled pitcher Jorge Lopez from Triple-A Colorado Springs to fill the roster spot.

 

Brewers struggle to score runs, suffer 3rd straight loss

By

Craig Counsell

The Milwaukee Brewers racked up nine hits on Wednesday, but managed just one run in a 3-1 loss to the Indians in Cleveland.  The Indians swept the two-game series.

Carlos Carrasco scattered eight hits, seven of them were singles.  He walked just one while striking out 10 Brewers.

The Brewers scored first after Christian Yelich led off the second inning with a double.  He moved to third on a groundout and scored on a Travis Shaw RBI single.  But that would be it for the Brewers offense.

After Cleveland tied the game in the fifth, Brewers manager Craig Counsell removed starter Chase Anderson (4-5), going with Jeremy Jeffress to get out of a jam.  That plan failed after the normally dependable Jeffress surrendered the go-ahead run on a Jose Ramirez RBI double.  Jeffress then walked Edwin Encarnacion and Yonder Alonso, forcing in a third run to close out the scoring.

Counsell was ejected in the eighth inning, his third ejection this season.

The Brewers fell to 1-4 in the month of June.  They’re off today and open a 3-game series in Philadelphia on Friday night.

Cleveland ace Corey Kluber dominated another opponent on Tuesday night, pitching the Indians to a 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Cleveland.

Kluber held the Brewers to one run while striking out seven in seven innings.  He lowered his ERA to 1.96, helping the Indians snap a three-game losing streak.

Cody Allen earned his 10th save despite allowing a solo homer to Travis Shaw in the ninth.

Junior Guerra (3-4) went six innings for the third straight outing, but took the loss.  He pitched six innings for his third straight start, allowing seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts.

The Brewers have dropped two straight and three of the last four.  They’ll close out the two-game series with a day game today (1:10 p.m.).  Chase Anderson (4-4, 4.45) goes for Milwaukee.  Carlos Carrasco (6-4, 4.50) pitches for the Indians.
