By

After a solid outing last time out, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta struggled on Tuesday night in a 10-8 loss to the Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

Peralta allowed six runs on eight hits in four-plus innings, including two home runs.  He fell to 3-3 with a 5.81 ERA in 13 appearances with nine starts.  Peralta previously held the Marlins to a run on four hits over six innings.

The Brewers got home runs from Christian Yelich, Travis Shaw and Yasmani Grandal.  Shaw’s blast came in the seventh, his first since he clubbed two on April 23 in St. Louis.

Yelich clubbed his in the third, his major league leading 25th of the season.  Grandal went deep with a three run shot in the ninth to pull the Brewers to within two runs at 10-8.

The Astros hit a total of four home runs in the win.  They’ll go for the sweep on Wednesday night.  Brandon Woodruff (8-1, 3.87) pitches for Milwaukee.  Justin Verlander (9-2, 2.40) goes for Houston.

Jean Seguara homered in the first for the Phillies.  Jake Arrieta surrendered five runs over six innings to fall to 4-4 with the loss.

Anderson to start Saturday

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Chase Anderson will start Saturday in Atlanta, in the rotation spot currently held by Freddy Peralta.

Anderson is returning from a minor-league rehab outing at Triple “A” San Antonio after he missed a start due to a blister in Milwaukee.  Peralta pitched against the Phillies on Monday but made it through just four innings because of a high pitch count.

 

Brewers fall to Phillies for third straight loss

Craig Counsell

The Milwaukee Brewers squandered several opportunities to score runs in their series opener in Philadelphia on Monday night, falling 7-4 to the Phillies.

“Collectively, we didn’t play well enough to win,” said manager Craig Counsell after the game.  “We didn’t play good enough defense, we didn’t pitch well enough and we left too many guys out there (on the bases).  We didn’t do enough to get this one, and (the Phillies) deserved it.”

Lorenzo Cain, who had been scuffling himself, had a five hit night, and Mike Moustakas hit his 10th home run of the season.  But the Brewers still left 15 runners on base on the night.

Lorenzo Cain broke a scoreless tie with a three-run double off of Stephen Strasburg in the seventh inning to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-0 win over the Washington Nationals at Miller Park.

Adrian Houser made his second spot start of the season for the Brewers, but this time his outing was only to get the ball rolling before giving way to Freddy Peralta.  Houser pitched two scoreless innings and Peralta followed with five scoreless frames for the win.

The Brewers employed the pitching strategy after Peralta gave up nine runs in four innings in his last start.  He improved to 2-1 with the win.

Strasburg (3-2) struck out 11 before the Brewers got him in the seventh.  They scored all six of their runs in that frame.

Cain’s double ended the night for Strasburg and reliever Dan Jennings gave up an RBI single to Mike Moustakas.  The Brewers then added two more runs in the seventh on Ben Gamel’s bases-loaded walk and Jesus Aguilar’s RBI single off Justin Miller.

The Brewers and Nationals wrap up their three-game series this afternoon at Miller Park.  Brandon Woodruff (4-1, 4.71 ERA) gets the nod for the Brewers.  Jeremy Hellickson (2-0, 5.33) goes for the Nationals, who have dropped three straight.

Brewers rotational issues continue, fall to Rockies

Freddy Peralta

The Milwaukee Brewers activated Freddy Peralta before Thursday’s game, giving him the start against the Colorado Rockies.  Things didn’t go so well, leaving one to wonder if Peralta will lose his spot in the rotation.

Peralta allowed four runs in the first inning and nine runs (six earned) in four innings on the way to a 11-6 Brewers loss to the Rockies.  After winning the first two games of the series, the Brewers lost the last two, having to settle for a four-game split.

The Brewers going with Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta in their starting rotation has backfired for the first month of the season.  In 16 outings, 15 of which were starts, have a combined 7.68 ERA. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers found out less than hour before Wednesday night’s game against Colorado that starting pitcher Chase Anderson ripped open a callus on his right middle finger, sending him to the injured list.  That put the team in scramble mode as they needed to formulate a pitching plan for the night, minus Anderson.

Manager Craig Counsell handed the ball to reliever Jacob Barnes to start with and things went downhill from there.  Barnes walked the first two batters and Nolan Arenado followed with a three-run homer to center field, on the way to a 11-4 Colorado victory.

Arenado tacked on a solo homer in the ninth for his eighth home run of the season.  Trevor Story also clubbed a three-run homer for the Rockies.

Mike Moustakas hit a two-run homer for Milwaukee, and Ben Gamel added two hits and two RBI. [Read more…]

Aguilar ends home run drought in win over Rockies

By

Jesus Aguilar has been mired in an early season hitting slump.  The Brewers first baseman is hoping his performance on Monday night will pull him out of that slump.

Aguilar had three hits and four rbi’s, including his first two home runs of the season as the Brewers knocked off the Colorado Rockies 5-1 in their series opener at Miller Park.

The three-hit night for Aguilar, raised his average to .156.

Zach Davies (3-0) earned his third win of the season, allowing just a single run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings.  He saw  his ERA drop to 1.38. [Read more…]

Christian Yelich continued his early season success against division rival St. Louis, clubbing three home runs and driving in seven, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-7 win over the Cardinals on Monday night at Miller Park.

It was the first three-homer game of Yelich’s career.  In the five games against the Cardinals so far this season, Yelich is hitting .563 with seven home runs, 15 RBI and nine runs scored.  He has hit seven of his eight home runs this season against St. Louis.

Marcell Ozuna ended the scoring with a home run in the ninth off of Josh Hader.  The Cardinals also got home runs in the first from Paul Goldschmidt and Paul DeJong off of Freddy Peralta.

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…]
