Matt Albers picked up the win and Freddy Peralta notched his first save.

Josh VanMeter went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for Cincinnati, which had won three of its previous four.

After trailing early 4-0, the Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 7-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Sunday.

Tyler Saladino clubbed a fourth inning grand slam for the Brewers to even the score 4-4.  Then Mike Moustakas’ go-ahead, RBI-single ignited a three-run eighth inning to pull out the win.

Yasmani Grandal and Ben Gamel also plated runs in the eighth inning.  Keston Hiura got the rally started with an opposite-field triple into the right-field corner.

Freddy Peralta picked up the victory and Josh Hader nailed down his 22nd save.

Starting pitching continues to struggle as Brewers fall to Mariners

By

Adrian Houser had been spectacular out of the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen, putting together a 1.05 ERA over a total of 14 outings.  But things didn’t go well for Houser in a starting role as the Brewers fell to the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Wednesday night at Miller Park.

Houser made it through just two innings, allowing three runs on four hits with three walks in suffering the loss.

Brewers starters have compiled a 6.81 ERA in the month of June and it’s led to a 10-12 record for the month. [Read more…]

Peralta struggles in loss to Astros

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.

Gio Gonzalez gave up a solo homer in the first inning, but then held the Philadelphia Phillies in check through 5 1/3 innings as the Milwaukee Brewers pulled out a 5-2 win in Philadelphia.

Jesus Aguilar singled in two runs, and Ryan Braun had two hits and an RBI in the win.

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.

The Phillies have lost two straight, while the Brewers have won two straight and nine of their last 12.

Zach Davies pitches for the Brewers in the series finale against the Phillies this afternoon.

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.

Freddy Peralta got the start for the Brewers but a high pitch count led to him pitching just four innings.  Peralta allowed two runs. [Read more…]

Brewers blank Nationals for fifth straight win

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

By

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…]

Brewers scramble, fall to Rockies

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…]
