The Milwaukee Brewers sent struggling starting pitcher Corbin Burnes to Class AAA San Antonio on Friday, two days after his fourth tough outing of the season.

Burnes has allowed 11 home runs in just 17 innings of work, but the Brewers have decided they didn’t want to return Burnes to the bullpen which is the role he pitched in last year.  Instead, the right-hander heads back to the minors to figure out his game, while continuing as a starter.

Burnes task will be trying to rediscover his fastball command.  Poor fastball location led to home runs by the opposition and Burnes leads the league in home runs allowed.

The Brewers also recalled left-handed reliever Donnie Hart from San Antonio and reinstated right-hander Alex Wilson from the paternity list.  They optioned right-hander Jake Petricka back to AAA San Antonio.

Chase Anderson will get the start for the Brewers in game three of their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night.

Brewers drop series opener to the Angels (AUDIO)

The Milwaukee Brewers kept Mike Trout in check but his teammates picked up the slack as the Los Angeles Angels pulled out a 5-2 win in their series opener at Angels Stadium in Anaheim.

Tommy La Stella, Andrelton Simmons and Justin Bour all belted their first home runs of the season in the Angels victory.

The home runs by Simmons and La Stella came off of Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin, who allowed only one other hit in 6 1/3 innings of work, but was saddled with his first loss (2-1) of the season.

The game featured some top plays defensively.  Christian Yelich made a lunging catch of a drive by former Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy in right center.  Yelich then fired to second to double off Albert Pujols at second base.

Just one inning later, Mike Trout pulled off an even bigger play, making a leaping catch at the wall in [Read more…]

Brewers land knockout punch on Quintana

By

Jose Quintana entered Friday’s game against Milwaukee with a 6-2 record and a 1.62 ERA in 11 starts.  Seven of those 11 starts came last season, where Quintana went 4-1 with a 2.13 ERA.  The Brewers, for at least one night, made Quintana pay.

The Brewers scored eight runs on eight hits in just three innings, rolling to a 13-10 win over the Chicago Cubs in their series opener at Miller Park.

Ryan Braun, Hernan Perez and Yasmani Grandal all clubbed home runs off of Quintana.  Orlando Arcia and Eric Thames also went yard for the Brewers, who have won nine of their last 12 games against the Cubs dating back to last season. [Read more…]

For veteran pitchers, spring training is the time to experiment.  Milwaukee Brewers right hander Chase Anderson was tinkering with a different delivery.

Tuesday, Anderson went back to his old delivery and he threw the ball much better, despite the Brewers falling to the Texas Rangers 3-2.  Anderson dropped to 0-3 with a 7.07 ERA this spring, but manager Craig Counsell said Anderson had his best velocity this spring.

The Brewers are 13-12-1 in the Cactus League and will send Brandon Woodruff to the mound against the San Diego Padres today.  There’s just nine days left until the Brewers open their season on March 28th against the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park.

Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer struck out 10 in 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and four hits to lead the Indians to a 9-3 Cactus League victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.

Milwaukee’s top prospect, Keston Kiura, clubbed his third home run of the spring, a three-run shot off of Bauer.

Chase Anderson gave up four runs on five hits and two walks in four innings.  He allowed a home run to Roberto Perez, his fourth home run allowed this spring.

The Brewers will face the Angels this afternoon (3:05 p.m. CT).  There’s just 14 days left until the season opener against the St. Louis Cardinals on March 28 at Miller Park.

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.
