The Milwaukee Brewers gave Travis Shaw every opportunity to get out of his season-long slump and their patience has finally run out.  The Athletic reported the Brewers optioned Shaw to Class AAA San Antonio and recalled second baseman Keston Hirua.  They also are bringing up utility player Tyler Saladino and designating Hernan Perez for assignment.

After going 0-for-2 on Thursday, Shaw was hitting .164 with six home runs and 13 RBI in 57 games for the Brewers.

In 17 games in the month of June, Perez was hitting just .196 for the month, .107 in his last nine games.  He was hitting .235 in 59 games this season, clubbing five home runs and 11 RBI.

Hiura was hitting .329 at San Antonio with 16 doubles, 19 home runs and 46 RBI.  He hit .281 with five home runs during a 17-game stint with the Brewers earlier this season.

Saladino was hitting .288 with 14 home runs and 57 RBI in 67 games at San Antonio.  Both Saladino and Hiura were selected as Pacific Coast League All-stars.

Brewers land knockout punch on Quintana

Jose Quintana entered Friday’s game against Milwaukee with a 6-2 record and a 1.62 ERA in 11 starts.  Seven of those 11 starts came last season, where Quintana went 4-1 with a 2.13 ERA.  The Brewers, for at least one night, made Quintana pay.

Brewers elect not to bring Schoop back

By

Milwaukee Brewers GM David Stearns told reporters on Friday that the trade that brought Jonathan Schoop to Milwaukee for the final months of last season was a “bad deal”.

The Brewers weren’t willing to take a shot at arbitration with Schoop and didn’t offer him a deal for 2019.  It makes Schoop a free agent.

The Brewers also declined to make offers by the Friday deadline to left-handed relievers Dan Jennings and Xavier Cedeno.  They tendered contracts to all of their remaining arbitration-eligible players, including infielders Hernan Perez and Tyler Saladino.

Schoop played 46 games with the Brewers, but struggled.  He hit just four home runs and drove in 21 runs while striking out 41 times in 124 at-bats.  He earned $8.5 million last season and was projected to get around $10 million in his final year of arbitration.

The Brewers currently have 36 players on their 40-man roster, giving them some flexibility in free agency.

Jhoulys Chacin

The Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Colorado Rockies 4-0 on Friday at Miller Park, and is now just one victory away from winning the series and advancing to the National League Championship Series.

Jhoulys Chacin, on short rest, pitched five shutout innings while striking out three and walking three.

It’s also the 10th straight win for the Brewers as the series now shifts to Coors Field in Denver for games three and four.

The Brewers had struggled with runners in scoring position in the first two games of the series, but they finally saw their luck change in the 8th.  With the bases loaded, Mike Moustakas singled to right to push their lead to 2-0.  Then, after Hernan Perez and Travis Shaw struck out, catcher Erik Kratz singled to score Braun and punch runner Orlando Arcia to make it 4-0.

Jeremy Jeffress, who had already worked the eighth, returned to pitch the ninth and lock down the victory.

The Brewers also got scoreless relief from Corey Knebel, Joakim Soria and Josh Hader.

Saturday is a workout day for both teams at Coors Field with game three set for 3:37 p.m. CT on Sunday.  Lefty Wade Miley (5-2, 2.57) will start for the Brewers in game three.  The Rockies will counter with German Marquez (14-11, 3.77).

Brewers throttled by Dodgers in series finale

By

The Milwaukee Brewers finished their eight game road trip out west with a 5-3 record and they’ll take it.  But they finished with two straight losses, including Thursday nights 21-5 blowout loss to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers had 18 hits and clubbed seven home runs.  Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin (10-4) gave up three of the long balls, allowing eight earned runs and not making it out of the fifth.

The 21 runs scored by the Dodgers is the most ever scored against a Brewers team.  With the hits and runs piling up, manager Craig Counsell once again went to a couple of position players to mop up, Hernan Perez and Erik Kratz.

The Brewers did score first after Christian Yelich doubled and eventually scored on a pair of wild pitches from Clayton Kershaw. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers were denied a four-game sweep following an 8-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park on Sunday.

The Brewers got off to a good start when Christian Yelich singled in the first and Ryan Braun homered for a 2-0 lead.

Junior Guerra held that lead until the third when he walked the bases loaded and served up a bases loaded double.  The Giants would end up scoring four times in the third and three times in the fifth off of reliever Matt Albers.

Hernan Perez and Travis Shaw also homered for the Brewers, who took three of four in the series.

Guerra fell to 6-7, allowing five runs on five hits with three walks and five strikeouts.

With the Cubs winning in St. Louis on Sunday night, the Brewers trail the Central Division leaders by a game and a half.

The Milwaukee Brewers missed on a chance to sweep Washington, falling to the Nationals 7-3 at Miller Park on Wednesday afternoon.

22-year-old rookie Freddy Peralta walked the first batter he faced and that would be the start of his struggles.  Peralta finished with four walks and he hit a batter.  All five of those runners ended up scoring.

Bryce Harper clubbed a three-run homer, one of three Washington home runs on the day.

Peralta fell to 4-2 with a 3.74 ERA.

Offensively, the Brewers had no answer for Washington right hander Tanner Roark.  Roark was 3-12 with a 4.87 ERA, but held the Brewers to three hits over eight innings.  The Brewers didn’t score until Hernan Perez clubbed a three-run home run in the ninth off of reliever Sammy Solis.

The Brewers fell to 2 1/2 games behind the Cubs in the National League Central, after the Cubs beat Arizona 2-1 at Wrigley Field.

The Brewers also to 17-26 in day games this season.  They’re 41-20 at night.

Milwaukee opens an 8-game West Coast road trip against the Giants in San Francisco on Thursday night.  Wade Miley takes the mound for the Brewers, facing San Francisco’s Dereck Rodriguez.

 

Brewers suffer ugly loss in series finale with L.A.

Brent Suter File Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI

Matt Kemp homered twice to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 11-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday at Miller Park.  The loss for the Brewers is their 9th in the last 11 games, as they dropped two of three in the series.

The Dodgers hit Brewers starter Brent Suter hard and continued their assault on reliever Taylor Williams.  Suter left after three innings with a left forearm strain, the same injury that landed him on the 10-day disabled list previously.  Manager Craig Counsell said Suter is headed back for another stint on the DL.

“It’s a really disappointing setback,” said Suter.  “I’m really disappointed for letting the team down today.  I didn’t pitch well and then I got hurt to boot.  It was just a real disappointing day.

Suter allowed six earned runs on eight hits.  His replacement, Taylor Williams allowed five runs, three of which were earned, in just one inning of work.  In two outings since the all-star break, Williams has allowed nine hits and seven runs (5 earned) in two innings. [Read more…]
