Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain each drove in four runs as the Milwaukee Brewers knocked off the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-5 in the opener of a four game series at PNC Park on Thursday night.

Moustakas homered twice among his four hits, while Cain had two doubles.  Yasmani Grandal also had four hits and homered in the win.  Eric Thames added a solo shot as the Brewers won for the third time in the last four games, moving a half-game behind the idle Chicago Cubs atop the Central Division.

The Brewers had 18 hits on the night, 11 of them for extra bases.

Pittsburgh starter Joe Musgrove yielded five runs on 11 hits over six innings to take the loss as the Pirates fell to 3-8 in their last 11 games.  Colin Moran homered for the Pirates in the loss.

Chase Anderson pitched five innings for the Brewers, securing his third victory of the season.

The Pirates scored three times off of Corbin Burnes in the eighth to pull to within 7-5, but the Brewers came back with four runs in the ninth inning to put the game out of reach.

Anderson to start Saturday

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Chase Anderson will start Saturday in Atlanta, in the rotation spot currently held by Freddy Peralta.

Anderson is returning from a minor-league rehab outing at Triple “A” San Antonio after he missed a start due to a blister in Milwaukee.  Peralta pitched against the Phillies on Monday but made it through just four innings because of a high pitch count.

 

Brewers scramble, fall to Rockies

The Milwaukee Brewers found out less than hour before Wednesday night’s game against Colorado that starting pitcher Chase Anderson ripped open a callus on his right middle finger, sending him to the injured list.  That put the team in scramble mode as they needed to formulate a pitching plan for the night, minus Anderson.

Manager Craig Counsell handed the ball to reliever Jacob Barnes to start with and things went downhill from there.  Barnes walked the first two batters and Nolan Arenado followed with a three-run homer to center field, on the way to a 11-4 Colorado victory.

Arenado tacked on a solo homer in the ninth for his eighth home run of the season.  Trevor Story also clubbed a three-run homer for the Rockies.

Aguilar’s bat leads Brewers past Rockies

Jesus Aguilar homers for the Brewers

After entering the series against Colorado without a home run, first baseman Jesus Aguilar clubbed his third home run in the last two games to power the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 win over the Rockies on Tuesday night at Miller Park.

With the Brewers leading 1-0 in the seventh, Aguilar clubbed a three-run shot to put Milwaukee up 4-0.  It turns out the Brewers would need those runs, seeing the Rockies score three times in the 9th and falling a run short.  Josh Hader came on to slam the door and earn his seventh save of the season.

The rest of the game was a pitching duel between Jhoulys Chacin and Rockies right-hander German Marquez.

Marquez didn’t allow a base runner until the sixth inning, when Ben Gamel led off the inning with a double.  Orlando Arcia’s bunt single put runners at first and third and nobody out.  Ryan Braun followed with a double play ground out, but Gamel scored on the play to give the Brewers the first run of the game.

Chacin entered the game with a 2-3 record and a 6.35 ERA, but he had his “A” game on Tuesday night.  He allowed just two hits over six scoreless innings to earn his third win.

Chase Anderson (2-0, 3.20) pitches game three of the four game series for the Brewers.  Antonio Senzatela (2-1, 3.93) goes for the Rockies.

 

Cardinals sweep Brewers in St. Louis

By

Jhoulys Chacin

Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer and Yadier Molina added a solo shot in the St. Louis 4th inning, sending the Cardinals to a 5-2 win and sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers.

It was the fourth straight loss and seventh in the last eight games for the Brewers, dropping them to .500 (13-13).

The Brewers scored their 23rd straight run via the home run when Eric Thames homered in the first inning.  It means of the Brewers’ last 44 runs scored, 39 have come by home run.

The Brewers managed just five hits off of Cardinals pitching for the third straight game.  Adam Wainwright picked up the win (2-2), the 150th of his big league career.

The Brewers loaded the bases in the 9th and scored a run on a bases loaded walk.  But Jordan Hicks came on to strike out pinch hitter Christian Yelich to end it.

Jhoulys Chacin gave up four runs in four innings to take the loss.  After a 15-8 record last season, Chacin is off to a 2-3 start this year with a 6.35 ERA.

The Brewers are done with the Cardinals until August 19th.  Thursday is an off day and then it’s on to New York for the start of a three game series against the Mets on Friday night.  Chase Anderson (2-0, 3.00 ERA) pitches for the Brewers.  Jacob DeGrom (2-2, 3.68) goes for New York.

 

Brewers send Burnes to the minors

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)

Craig Counsell

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.
