Brewers perched at the top of NL Central

By

The Milwaukee Brewers are supposed to be rebuilding.  Nobody knows how long this recent streak of success will last, but for now, the Brewers are at the top of the National League Central Division, looking down at the other four teams.

Jett Bandy’s ninth-inning RBI single was the highlight of a two-run rally and the Brewers beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 at Petco Park on Wednesday night.

The Brewers won for the eighth time in the last 10 games to climb five games over .500 at 23-18.  It’s the first time they’ve reached that mark since September of 2014.

Travis Shaw returned to the Brewers lineup after missing two games with a finger injury and immediately paid dividends by driving in Eric Sogard with a rbi single to center.  That would be it until the ninth inning for the Brewers offense. [Read more…]

For the second straight night, the Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher failed to make it through five innings to be eligible for a win.  But the result was the same, another victory for the Brewers at Miller Park.

The Brewers scored twice in the first inning, giving them 35 first-inning runs in 34 games, on the way to a 7-4 victory.

The Brewers didn’t club any home runs, but they did collect 13 hits.  Hernan Perez replaced Jonathan Villar in the lineup at second base and collected two hits and drove in two runs.  Keon Broxton, Eric Thames, Eric Shaw and Domingo Santana also had two hits each for the Brewers, who improved to 18-16 with the victory.

Brewers avoid sweep, knock off Pirates

By

The Milwaukee Brewers used three home runs to knock off the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2 on Sunday, avoiding a three-game sweep at PNC Park.

Travis Shaw, Jesus Aguilar and Eric Thames all homered to power the Brewers offense.

After entering the game in the sixth inning, Aguilar doubled home a run in the seventh and homered in the ninth.

Thames put together a three hit day, including his 12th home run of the season and first since April 25th.

Zach Davies pitched five innings, allowing two runs on four hits with three walks and seven strikeouts.  He won his third straight, helping the Brewers even their record at 16-16.

Aguilar started the Brewers road trip to St. Louis and Pittsburgh mired in a 1-for-25 slump.  He returns to Milwaukee hitting .261.

The Brewers have the day off on Monday and will return to action Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox at Miller Park.
