Lincecum holds Brewers in check

By

Tim Lincecum tossed 8-innings of 1-hit ball, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.  The win gave the Giants a split of the 4-game series.

Lincecum’s only blemish came on Juan Francisco’s 3rd inning leadoff double.  The only other Brewer to reach base was Jeff Bianchi, who walked in the 6th.

Brandon Belt clubbed a 3-run home run in the 1st inning off the Brewers starter and loser Donovan Hand.  Hand has now given up six home runs in his last three starts.

Lincecum struck out eight and walked one in the victory.

The Brewers scored their only run in the 9th when Jean Segura singled home Khris Davis, who doubled to lead off the inning.

The Brewers now head to Seattle to face the Mariners tonight.  Kyle Lohse (7-7, 3.23) pitches for Milwaukee.  Joe Saunders (10-10, 4.58) goes for Seattle.

Scooter Gennett

Infielder Scooter Gennett will rejoin the Brewers in Seattle tonight.  He’s been recalled from Triple A – Nashville after the Brewers placed Rickie Weeks on the 15-day disabled list with a hamstring injury.

 

Brewers blanked by Nationals

By

The Milwaukee Brewers offense went silent for the second straight night as they were blanked 3-0 by the Washington Nationals at Miller Park on Saturday.

The Brewers didn’t have many opportunities, but they did waste a chance in the first inning.  Rickie Weeks led off with a double and was sacrificed to third.  But Jean Segura struck out and after a walk to Jonathan Lucroy, Carlos Gomez popped up to end the threat.

Donovan Hand (0-3) got the start for the Brewers and took the loss.  He gave up 3 runs on 5 hits, including a pair of home runs.

The Brewers try to avoid the sweep against the Nationals on Sunday afternoon.

 

Axford takes the loss as Brewers fall in Colorado (AUDIO)

By

The Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up the first leg of their six-game road trip with a 6-5 loss to the Colorado Rockies Sunday afternoon.

Milwaukee had a 5-4 lead going into the 8th inning before giving the ball to the recently sure handed John Axford.  The last time Axford picked up a loss was on May 1st.  Since then, he had worked his ERA from 10.32 down to 3.38 and had a stretch of 33-scoreless outings in 36-appearences.  Sunday,  Axford fell to 4-4 on the year by allowing consecutive doubles to Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Cuddyer as part of a 2-run 8th inning for Colorado.

Brewers fall to San Diego (AUDIO)

By

Another anemic offensive performance led to the Brewers second straight loss to San Diego.  The Padres notched a 6-2 victory Tuesday night at Miller Park.

The Brewers matched Monday’s total with 4-hits in the latest loss.  Tyson Ross shut down Brewer bats tossing 6-innings of 2-hit baseball.  Milwaukee’s lone run off Ross was scored on a 3rd inning throwing error.  Khris Davis was able to connect on his first career home run in the 8th inning off San Diego reliever Colt Hynes.  In 5-games since the all-star Break, the Brewers are averaging under 3-runs per game.
