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.

The Milwaukee Brewers managed just two hits on Sunday, in a 9-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Miller Park.

Pirates pitcher Chad Kuhl continued to dominate the Brewers, allowing just one hit in seven innings and not allowing the crowd of 38,285 to ever get going.  It’s the seventh time this season the Brewers have been shutout, after being blanked just eight times all of last year.

It’s a big number already, for sure,” said manager Craig Counsell.  “The series in Chicago, conditions played a role.  But seven is too many right now.”

Besides the run production itself, the Brewers are 14-1 against Miami, Cincinnati, San Diego and Kansas City.  They are averaging 5.5 runs per game.  In their 20 games against winning teams, Chicago, St. Louis, New York and Pittsburgh, the Brewers are 6-14 and have averaged just 2.5 runs a game.

Brewers land much needed win

Manny Pina and Lorenzo Cain homered and Domingo Santana capped off a three-run rally in the seventh inning with a two-run double off of former Brewer Jared Hughes, sending the Milwaukee Brewers to a come-from-behind 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark.

It was a much-needed win for the Brewers after they were swept in a four-game series by the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.  The Brewers were shutout three times in that series, giving even more importance to the sudden burst of offense.

The Brewers led twice, only to lose it.  They took the lead for good in the seventh and this time, behind the left arm of Josh Hader, they held on.

Brandon Woodruff secured the win and Hader wound up striking out a career-high eight in just 2 2/3 innings to close it out.  Hader became the first reliever since the save became an official stat in 1969 to fan eight batters in a save of less than three innings.  He didn’t allow a hit and walked one while throwing 37 pitches.

Game two of the series is tonight (6:10 p.m.).  Chase Anderson (2-2, 2.86) pitches for the Brewers.  Homer Bailey (0-3, 4.19) goes for the Reds.

Kyle Hendricks and two Chicago relievers combined to help the Cubs blank the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 at Wrigley Field on Thursday night.

In winning the opening game of the series, the Cubs have taken four of five from the Brewers so far this season, with three of the four wins coming via the shutout.

Hendricks tossed seven shutout innings and struck out five on his way to a 2-1 record.  Kyle Schwarber’s solo homer in the sixth off of Chase Anderson was the only offense Chicago would need.  It was Schwarber’s seventh home run of the season.

The Brewers managed just four hits on the night, all coming against Hendricks and all with two outs.

Anderson (2-2) allowed five hits and a walk with two strikeouts in seven innings.

The Brewers fell percentage points behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central Division standings, while the Cubs are two games back.

Game two of the series is Friday afternoon.  Brent Suter (1-2, 5.68) pitches for the Brewers.  Yu Darvish (0-2, 6.86) goes for the Cubs.  First pitch at Wrigley Field is set for 1:20 p.m.
