The Milwaukee Brewers managed to win their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but they dropped their series finale 7-1 in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Starter Jhoulys Chacin made it through just 2 1/3 innings, allowing six hits, three walks and six runs, falling to 2-2 on the season.

“My slider wasn’t working today,” Chacin said.  “Not for lefties or for righties. I just couldn’t command it.  Those guys hit a lot of homers but they also take a lot of walks, too.  You have to throw strikes and make good pitches.”

Dodger pitcher Ross Stripling tossed eight innings of one-run ball and didn’t allow a run until Eric Thames’ Sacrifice fly in the eighth.  Stripline allowed just four hits and a while striking out three. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers fell behind 6-0, rebounded to take an 8-7 lead, before falling to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 11-8 on Tuesday night.

It’s the third time in the last five games that the Brewers pitching staff has allowed at least 10 runs.

Tommy La Stella capped off the Angels six-run first inning with a three run home run.  It was his second long ball of the season and second in as many games.

Former Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy drove in three runs in the win.  He drew a bases loaded walk in the seventh that pushed across the winning run.

Brewer pitchers walked six batters in the loss.  Two of the six came in the 8th off of Jake Petricka as the Angels scored twice to add to their lead and pull out the win.

Angels outfielder Mike Trout left the game early with a strained groin and is listed as day-to-day.  That could keep him out of tonight’s series finale.

Freddy Peralta got the start for the Brewers but managed just 3 1/3 innings before giving way to the bullpen.  He allowed 7 earned runs on 8 hits with two walks and two home runs.  Peralta saw his ERA climb to 6.91.

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…]

Jhoulys Chacin

The Milwaukee Brewers picked up where they left off last season, pulling out a thrilling 5-4 win over the division rival St. Louis Cardinals in the 2019 season opener at Miller Park.

Jhoulys Chacin made his third opening day start, but his first with the Brewers.  He went 5 1/3 innings and helped is own cause with a pair of hits, including the game winning solo home run in the fifth.  Chacin became the first pitcher in franchise history to homer on opening day.

Josh Hader pitched two innings, striking out four to earn the save.  With two outs in the ninth inning, Cardinals pinch hitter Jose Martinez sent a drive to right center that looked like it might leave the park.  But Lorenzo Cain, who deserved to win a gold glove last season and didn’t, made a leaping catch while crashing into the wall, preserving the victory.

Both teams clubbed three home runs in the contest.  Christian Yelich clubbed a three run shot and Mike Moustakas added a solo home run to help the Brewers.

Kolton Wong homered twice and Harrison Badger added a solo shot for the Cardinals.

The Brewers improved to 11-10-1 on opening day since joining the National League in 1998.

Craig Counsell

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell completed his five-man starting rotation on Thursday.

Following opening day starter Jhoulys Chacin, the Brewers will go with Freddy Peralta, Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff and Zach Davies.  Davies has been slotted into the fifth spot, while the order in which Peralta, Burnes and Woodruff appear is yet to be determined.

Chase Anderson is the odd man out and will start the season in the bullpen.

Burnes pitched out of the bullpen for the Brewers last season, making 30 appearances and finishing with a 7-0 record and 2.61 ERA.

Woodruff bounced back and forth between the Brewers and their Triple A affiliate.  He ended up making four starts and 15 relief appearances, finishing 3-0 with a 3.61 ERA.

Peralta appeared in 16 games with 14 starts, finishing 6-4 with a 4.25 ERA.

Davies won 17 games in 2017, but rotator cuff inflammation last season meant just 13 starts and a 2-7 record with a 4.77 ERA.
