Peralta lands fifth starter spot in Brewers rotation (AUDIO)

March 26, 2021 By Bill Scott

 

Freddy Peralta

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell unveiled his five-man starting pitching rotation on Thursday and Freddy Peralta has landed the spot as the fifth and final starter in that rotation.

Peralta settled into the fifth spot after a solid spring in which he pitched 8 1/3 innings in three appearances with one start.  He struck out 15 hitters, had a 1.08 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP.  In his last appearance, a start against Seattle, he allowed a home run and a walk with five strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings of work.

“I thought his last start against Seattle was a great example of, he’s pitching like a starting pitcher,” Counsell said.  “The rhythm of the game, the pitches he used, the weapons he had for different hitters, different handed-ness of hitters…just really a complete step up from a couple years ago when he had to rely on the fastball, essentially.”

“He’s worked really hard to get to this place and I think he’s had a great spring.  He’s added things to his game that I think give him a chance of having a great, great season.”

It means Josh Lindblom will start the season pitching out of the bullpen. [Read more…]

March 2, 2021 By Bill Scott

Manny Pina clubbed a first-inning two-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers improved to 2-0 in Cactus League play with a 7-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.

Seven pitchers combined to limit the Diamondbacks to four-hits.  Corbin Burnes started and struck out two in his one-inning appearance.  Freddy Peralta followed with a three strikeout inning.

Arizona scored their only run off of Jordan Zimmermann, collecting three of their four hits.

The Brewers first round draft pick from last June, Garrett Mitchell, collected his first big league hit, a single in the seventh.

Josh Lindblom is scheduled to start against the Oakland A’s on Tuesday.

The Milwaukee Brewers earned a split of their Wednesday doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park, dropping the opener 4-2 before rebounding to win the nightcap 6-0.

Using a bullpen by committee in the game two victory, four relievers combined to blank the Cardinals on just two hits.  The Brewers scored four runs in the first inning, led by Ryan Braun’s 3-run homer.  It was the 350th home run in Braun’s career.

The Brewers also scored a pair of runs in the first inning of game one, giving them six in the opening frame in the doubleheader.  That’s one more first inning run than the five that the Brewers accumulated in the opening frame the first 46 games of the season.

Lefty Brent Suter started game two and tossed three scoreless innings.  Freddy Peralta earned the victory, pitching the fourth and fifth before Devin Williams and Eric Yardley closed out the shutout. [Read more…]

Arcia’s pinch hit leads to Brewers victory

September 1, 2020 By Bill Scott

Orlando Arcia

Orlando Arcia’s two out, pinch-hit single in the eighth inning gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night at Miller Park.

Ben Gamel led off the eighth with a double and eventually scored on Arcia’s hit as the Brewers took three of four in the series from Pittsburgh.

The Brewers went with a bullpen by committee approach, giving lefty Brent Suter the start.  He went three innings and allowed one hit, a two-run homer off the bat of Erik Gonzalez in the third inning.  Suter had retired the first eight batters of the game before walking Pittsburgh’s Cole Tucker.

Keston Hiura gave the Brewers a 5-3 lead in the fifth, clubbing a leadoff home run off of Pirates starter Trevor Williams.  Hiura has four home runs in 10 games against the Pirates this season and 10 in 26 career games against Pittsburgh.

The Pirates tied the game 5-5 in the sixth on Jose Osuna’s two-run single off of reliever Freddy Peralta, but the Brewers would go ahead in the 8th.

Devin Williams (3-1), who was the fourth of five Brewers pitchers, struck out four and didn’t allow a hit in 1 1/3 innings for the win.  Josh Hader bounced back from his five walk performance to work the ninth for his eighth save of the season.  Hader has yet to give up a hit this season.

The Brewers open a two-game series against the Detroit Tigers at Miller Park on Tuesday night.  Josh Lindblom (1-2, 6.31) gets the start for the Brewers.  Michael Fullmer (0-0, 8.79) goes for the Tigers.

Brewers swept by Pirates (Audio)

August 24, 2020 By Bill Scott

Craig Counsell

The Pittsburgh Pirates entered their three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers with just four wins (4-17) and the worst offense in baseball.  When the smoke cleared on Sunday, the Pirates had a three-game sweep, outscoring the Brewers 24-11 in the series.

The Brewers were trying to salvage the final game of the series on Sunday at PNC Park, leading 4-3 in the 8th.  That’s when Pittsburgh’s Gregory Polanco clubbed a two-run home run off of reliever David Phelps to give the Pirates a 5-4, come-from-behind win.  It was the first home run allowed by Phelps in 10 appearances this season.

Once again, the Brewers struggled out of the gates, falling behind 2-0.  They went hitless in the first three innings and have now been outscored 37-5 in the first two innings of their 26 games.

The Brewers would eventually tie it 2-2 on a run scoring double by Justin Smoak and a run scoring single  by Omar Narvaez.  They then took the lead in the sixth when Smoak clubbed a 2-run homer for a 4-2 lead. [Read more…]

Inconsistent offense leads to another Brewers loss

August 21, 2020 By Bill Scott

Every time you think the Milwaukee Brewers offense is starting to show some signs of stringing together some success, they struggle to keep it going.  That was the case again on Thursday night when they failed to get a hit until the fifth inning and watched the Minnesota Twins pull away for a 7-1 victory at Target Field.

Twins starter Jose Berrios entered the game with a 1-3 record and a 5.92 ERA.  He pitched six innings of one-hit ball, walking one and striking out nine.

Minnesota had chances to add to their 1-0 lead, but a pair of solid defensive plays by the Brewers, kept the Twins off the scoreboard.

The Twins would finally add a run in the sixth inning, chasing Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff (1-2) and pushing their lead to 2-0 on a sacrifice fly off of reliever Freddy Peralta.

The Brewers cut the lead in half in the seventh when Justin Smoak clubbed a solo home run.  But Minnesota came right back in the bottom half, increasing the lead to 4-1 when Nelson Cruz clubbed a two-run homer.

The Twins then blew the game open in the eighth, scoring three runs off of Angel Perdomo.

The loss dropped the Brewers back below .500 at 11-12.  They’ll open a three-game series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates on Friday night.  Adrian Houser (1-1, 3.27) pitches for the Brewers.  Chad Kuhl (0-1, 3.21) goes for the Pirates.

Brewers offense back in slow-mode, fall to Twins

August 11, 2020 By Bill Scott

Keston Hiura

Just one day after the Milwaukee Brewers finally broke out for 9-runs in a 9-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds, they scored just two runs on Monday night in a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins in the opener of a three-game series at Miller Park.

Eddie Rosario clubbed a third inning grand slam off of Milwaukee’s Adrian Houser for all of Minnesota’s runs, giving Randy Dobnak (3-1) the win with five solid innings.

Luis Urias, who was activated from the injured list earlier in the day, singled in his first at bat.  He came around to score the Brewers first run on a double from Orlando Arcia.  The Brewers other run came on a Keston Hiura home run in the eighth inning, his second in as many games.

The Brewers brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning after Manny Pina clubbed a two-out double, but Mark Mathias struck out to end it.

Freddy Peralta gave the Brewers four innings of scoreless relief, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight.

The Brewers and Twins play game two of the series Tuesday night.  Josh Lindblom (1-0, 4.15) gets the start for the Brewers.  Minnesota will go with Tyler Clippard (0-0, 1.17) in a bullpen by committee start.

Brewer bats silent in second loss to Cubs (AUDIO)

July 27, 2020 By Bill Scott

Craig Counsell

Tyler Chatwood tossed three-hit ball over six innings to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 9-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the series finale at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Sunday.

Willson Contreras, Anthony Rizzo and Ian Happ all homered for the Cubs, who sent Brewers starter Freddy Peralta to the showers in the fourth.  In three-plus innings, Peralta allowed four runs.

Corey Knebel took over for Peralta and allowed three run scoring hits to Nico Hoerner, Victor Caratini and Ian Happ to give the Cubs a 5-0 lead.

The Brewers didn’t get their first  hit until Ben Gamel singled to right with two outs in the fifth.  Orlando Arcia plated the only run for the Brewers with a run scoring single.

Chatwood walked just two and struck out eight.  He and the Cubs pitching staff kept the Brewers top [Read more…]

Brewers sign Peralta to contract extension

The Milwaukee Brewers have reached agreement on a five-year contract extension with pitcher Freddy Peralta that guarantees him $15.5 million with team options for 2025 and 2026 that could take the deal to $30 million.

The deal was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic and Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

The 23-year-old Peralta came to spring training with a slider added to his pitch repertoire.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Peralta and left-hander Eric Lauer are competing for the fifth spot in the starting rotation behind Brandon Woodruff, Adrian  Houser, Brett Anderson and Josh Lindblom.

The five-year deal would reportedly buy out all three of Peralta’s arbitration years.  The club options, if the Brewers choose to exercise them, would buy out the first two years of free agency.

Peralta finished last season with a 7-3 record and a 5.29 ERA.  He made eight starts and 39 appearances in relief.  In 55 career games, Peralta is 13-7 with a 4.79 ERA.  He recorded 211 strikeouts in 163 1/3 innings.

Brewers win series opener against the Padres

September 17, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers opened their final home stand of the 2019 regular season by knocking off the San Diego Padres 5-1 at Miller Park on Monday night.

Cory Spangenberg drove in three runs with a run scoring single and a two-run triple and Travis Shaw added a pinch hit home run, his first in yearly three months to power the Brewers.

The Brewers won for the 10th time in the last 11 games, remaining one game behind the Chicago Cubs for the second National League wild card spot.  By way of Washington’s 4-2 loss in St. Louis, the Brewers are now within 1 1/2 games of the Nationals for the top wild card position.

San Diego’s only run came in the fourth when Eric Hosmer’s double scored Manny Machado to tie the game 1-1.  Spangenberg broke the tie with a two-run triple.

Zach Davies (10-7) earned the win, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out four.

Freddy Peralta, Alex Claudio and Jay Jackson finished up to seal the Brewers victory.
