Brewers season ends in Wildcard Playoffs

October 2, 2020 By Bill Scott

Brandon Woodruff

The inability to score runs almost cost the Milwaukee Brewers a trip to the playoffs.  Once they got there, the lack of offense is what did them in.

Clayton Kershaw allowed just three hits and struck out 13 in eight innings of work to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-0 win over the Brewers, sweeping their best-of-three National League Wildcard series two-games-to-none.

The Dodgers advanced to the National League Division Series in Arlington, Texas, against the winner of St. Louis and San Diego (game 3 Friday night).

Kershaw issued just one walk, to Luis Urias in the eighth inning, then picked him off of first base.

Brandon Woodruff was spectacular through four innings for the Brewers, striking out nine Dodgers.  His only blemish in the hit column was an Austin Barnes single in the fourth.  But the Dodgers broke out in the fifth.

Cody Bellinger and Chris Taylor had back-to-back singles.  A.J. Pollock grounded into a fielder’s choice to third as Urias stepped on the bag for the force but his throw to first was in the dirt and couldn’t be gloved by Jedd Gyorko.  Barnes singled to drive in a run, then Mookie Betts doubled into the left-field corner to add two more runs, giving the Dodgers a 3-0 lead.

That chased Woodruff, who allowed three runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings.  As he walked off the mound, Woodruff yelled at home plate umpire Quinn Wolcott, who ejected him.  Woodruff was upset when he thought he had strike three on Barnes but it was called a ball.

The Brewers ended up striking out 28 times in the two games.  In their last 11 games (3-8), including the two playoff games, the Brewers scored just 20 runs.  They finished with an overall record of 29-33.

Brewers fall to Reds, drop series in Cincinnati

September 24, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Cincinnati Reds have scored 14 runs in their three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.  All of those runs were the result of the home run.  The Reds went yard three times on Wednesday night to pull out a 6-1 win over the Brewers, taking the series three-games-to-two.

The Reds pulled a game in front of the Brewers as the loss dropped Milwaukee back a game under .500 at 27-28 with five games left to play.  The Brewers open a 5-game series against the Cardinals in St. Louis tonight.

Reds ace Trevor Bauer, pitching on short rest, tossed eight innings of 1-run, 4-hit ball.  He walked just one and struck out 12 Brewers while improving to 5-4 on the season.

Adrian Houser (1-6) took the loss, allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on five hits with a walk and five strikeouts.  Two of the five hits allowed were home runs. [Read more…]

Brewers drop series opener to Reds

September 22, 2020 By Bill Scott

Brandon Woodruff

With one week left in the regular season and the Milwaukee Brewers having their destiny in their own hands, they dropped the series opener to the Reds 6-3 in Cincinnati on Monday night.

Luis Castillo allowed a single run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings with nine strikeouts to secure the win.  It gave the Reds (28-27) their eighth victory in the last nine games as they moved a full game in front of the Brewers (26-27) for the final wildcard berth in the National League.

The Brewers scored a single run in the fifth inning when Jedd Gyorko homered to left.  That gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead and it stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when Eugenio Suarez homered to left off of Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff to make it 2-1 Cincinnati.

The Reds then scored four runs in the eighth off of rookie reliever Drew Rasmussen.  Reds catcher Curt Casali hit a leadoff home run and Mike Moustakas added a three-run blast to make it 6-1.

Jace Peterson clubbed a two-out, two-run homer in the 9th to make it 6-3 Reds, but the rally ended there.

Game two of the series is Tuesday night at Great American Ballpark.  Brett Anderson (3-3, 4.38) goes for the Brewers.  Sonny Gray (5-3, 3.94) gets the nod for the Reds.  First pitch is set for 5:40 p.m.

Brewers split with Cardinals, fall into 4th place in NL Central

September 15, 2020 By Bill Scott

Ryan Braun

The Milwaukee Brewers opened a 3-day, 5-game series against St. Louis, splitting a doubleheader with the Cardinals at Miller Park on Monday.

The Brewers won the series opener in comeback fashion, 2-1 in eight innings.  Ryan Braun’s run-scoring double and Keston Hiura’s sacrifice fly allowed the Brewers to climb within a game of the Cardinals for second place in the NL Central.  But St. Louis returned the favor by winning game two 3-2 in nine innings, moving back in front of the Brewers by two games for second place.  Cincinnati, which took two from the Pirates, slid past the Brewers and into third place in the division.

The Brewers struck out 16 times and went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position in game two.  The Brewers two runs came on a two-run homer by Jedd Gyorko in the fourth inning.

The Brewers had their hottest pitcher on the mound in game two, but Corbin Burnes ran his pitch count up and left in the 5th with 101 pitches.  The 4 2/3 innings pitched for Burnes, was his second shortest outing of the season.  But he did strikeout 10.

The Brewers had several chances in the final innings but couldn’t find a way to plate any additional runs.

In the opener, Josh Lindblom allowed just three hits and struck out six over five shutout innings, his best performance since joining the Brewers.

The Brewers and Cardinals play a single game on Tuesday night at Miller Park.  Brett Anderson (2-3, 4.64) gets the starting nod for the Brewers.  Jack Flaherty (3-1, 3.08) goes for the Cardinals.

The Brewers are 21-25 on the season with 14 games left in the regular season.

Road struggles continue for the Brewers in Pittsburgh

August 23, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers continue to search for the consistency necessary to win games.  At the start of their shortened 60-game season, the pitching was good and the hitting was almost missing in action.  The offense, while inconsistent, was starting to come around a little bit and now both the offense and the pitching is failing them.

That formula continued on Saturday in Pittsburgh, where the Brewers fell to the Pirates 12-5.  That’s three straight losses and four out of the last five on the road trip.  They’ll try to salvage a .500 record on the 10-game road trip, if they can avoid a sweep against the Pirates.

The Brewers struggle to hit and score runs was on full display in the third innings.  After Mark Mathias led off with a double, he advanced to third on an errant pickoff throw by pitcher Derek Holland.  With nobody out, Orlando Arcia struck out, Ryan Braun popped out and Christian Yelich grounded out.

The Brewers finally put a run on the board against Holland in the fourth when Jedd Gyorko hit a deep home run to left field to tie the score 1-1. [Read more…]

Brewers break up Maeda’s no-hit bid but fall to Twins

August 19, 2020 By Bill Scott

Eric Sogard

The Milwaukee Brewers foiled Kenta Maeda’s bid for a no-hitter in the 9th inning, then scored three runs to force extra innings.  But the rally fell short as the Brewers dropped their series opener to the Minnesota Twins 4-3 in 12 innings on Tuesday night at Target Field.

Jorge Polanco’s slow infield roller scored the winning run in the bottom of the 12th to win it for the Twins.

Maeda took a no-hitter into the 9th, having struck out 12 and retiring 20 Brewers in a row at one point.  That’s when Eric Sogard led off the ninth with a single to right-center field to end Maeda’s night.

The Twins went to Taylor Rogers out of the bullpen and Milwaukee’s Avisail Garcia greeted him with a double to put runners at second and third.  After Christian Yelich walked, Keston Hiura drove in a run with a single to center.

Jedd Gyorko followed with a ground ball up the middle to drive in Garcia, but in an attempt to turn a double play, the Twins Ildemaro Vargas threw wildly, allowing Yelich to score to tie the game 3-3.

The Brewers had a chance to go ahead in the top of the 12th.  They had runners at 1st and 3rd with nobody out but [Read more…]

Home runs lead Gold past Blue in Brewers World Series opener

July 15, 2020 By Bill Scott

Brandon Woodruff

The Gold jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning on Tuesday night and held on for a 4-1 victory over the Blue in the opener of the Milwaukee Brewers “Blue & Gold World Series”.

Jedd Gyorko and Ben Gamel ripped two-run homers off of right-hander Jake Faria in the first inning.

Right-hander Brandon Woodruff tossed three scoreless innings before giving up a solo home run to Justin Smoak in the fourth to cut the lead to three and end the scoring for the night.

Woodruff was on a pitch count of 80 and was removed in the fifth after striking out Christian Yelich for the third time.  He allowed four hits and a run over 4 1/3 innings, walking two and striking out six.

The Brewers will be back at it again tonight, under the lights, at Miller Park.
