Brewers crush Braves 13-1

July 17, 2019 By [email protected]

Christian Yelich Celebrates

Christian Yelich clubbed a grand slam, Brandon Woodruff went 6.2 strong innings and the Brewers made up for some poor play of late by crushing the Atlanta Braves 13-1 Tuesday night at Miller Park.

The Brewers pounded out 13 hits and also got home runs from Lorenzo Cain and Keston Huira.  Woodruff improved to 11-3 by giving up just the one run.  A six run seventh inning opened up the game.

Milwaukee remains 2 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central.  They host the Braves in the rubber match of the series on Wednesday afternoon, with Chase Anderson throwing against Dallas Kuechel.

Brewers drop series opener to Braves

The Milwaukee Brewers lost for the 18th time in 27 games with a 4-2 setback to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night at Miller Park.

The script was written differently in the loss, as the Brewers got solid pitching but little offense.  Adrian Houser allowed four runs and eight hits in his six innings, and manager Craig Counsell said afterwards Houser threw the ball well.  The bullpen, which has struggled of late, didn’t allow a run over three innings.

However, lefty Max Fried shut the Brewers out over five innings as the Atlanta starter, and the Brewers only runs came in the sixth off middle reliever Josh Tomlin.  Keston Huira went 3-for-4 and was a home run shy of the cycle.  Christian Yelich added two hits.

The Brewers are 48-47 but trail first place Chicago in the NL Central by just 2 1/2 games after the Cubs lost in Cincinnati.  Tuesday night will see Brandon Woodruff throw for the Brewers against Bryce Wilson.

Keston Huira’s first game at Miller Park

Milwaukee Brewers starter Gio Gonzalez surrendered three runs in the first inning and the Cincinnati Reds made that hold up.  The Reds pulled out a 3-0 victory in the series opener on Tuesday night at Miller Park.  It’s the first time the Brewers have been blanked on the scoreboard this season.

Sonny Gray blanked the Brewers for six innings, striking out nine and securing his first win of the season.  Three Reds relievers finished the victory for Gray as the Brewers went down via the strikeout 14 times on the night.  They were 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.

Right-fielder Christian Yelich was scratched from the lineup before the game with back spasms.  He’s not in the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale either.

The Brewers best chance came in the first inning when Lorenzo Cain led off the inning with a double. [Read more…]

The time is now for Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Keston Hiura.

The Brewers called up the 22-year-old Hiura after they placed Travis Shaw on the injured list with a right wrist strain.  Hiura is expected to take over at second base with Mike Moustakas moving over to third base in place of Shaw.

To Make room for Hiura on the 40-man roster, the Brewers designated infielder/outfielder Cory Spangenberg for assignment.

After getting some time off over the weekend, Shaw returned to the lineup on Monday night against the Phillies and went 0-for-3 with a pair of walks.  He’s hitting .163 for the season with a .548 OPS.  He has just four home runs and eight RBI, while striking out 50 times in 135 at-bats.

Hiura was hitting .333 with 11-home runs, 26 RBI and a .408 on-base percentage in 37 games at Triple-A San Antonio.  He was the ninth overall pick by the Brewers in the first round of the 2017 draft out of UC-Irvine.
