Logan Schafer’s run-scoring single in the 13th inning gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.  It was Milwaukee’s seventh straight win over the Pirates, who still hold the National League’s top Wild Card by two-and-a-half games.

The Brewers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning, hi-lighted by Khris Davis’ 19th home run of the season.  That lead would last until the eighth inning, when Andrew McCutcheon tied it with a three-run homer.

In the 12th, Ryan Braun gave the Brewers the lead with an R-B-I single, but Gregory Polanco tied it again with a solo shot off of Francisco Rodriguez.  It’s the second blown save of the season for Rodriguez.

In the 13th, Brewers’ catcher Nevin Ashley struck out but reached base on a wild pitch from Radhames Liz.  Ashley later scored the game-winning run on Schafer’s hit.

Rodriguez (1-3) wound up getting the win.  Former starter Kyle Lohse earned just the second save of his 15-year career.

The Brewers send Jimmy Nelson (11-11, 3.86 E-R-A) to the mound in game two of the series tonight.  Charlie Morton (8-7, 4.07 E-R-A) pitches for the Pirates.

Tyler Cravy held the St. Louis Cardinals scoreless through four innings.  But the Cardinals scored six times in the fifth inning and cruised to a 6-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at Miller Park.

The shutout was the major-league leading 13th of the year for the Brewers.

Cravy (0-3) allowed eight hits, six runs and two walks to go along with four strikeouts.  Cravy held the Cardinals in check on June 2 in St. Louis, allowing one earned run on four hits with a walk and six strikeouts.

Lance Lynn allowed six hits and four walks in six shutout innings to improve to 9-6.

Shane Peterson finished with three of the Brewers six hits.

Kyle Lohse, who was moved to the bullpen, pitched the eighth and ninth innings.  It was his first relief appearance since Sept. 8, 2009 when he was pitching for the Cardinals against the Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell announced that Kyle Lohse has been removed from the starting rotation and will move to the bullpen.

Rookie right-hander Tyler Cravy, recently recalled from Class AAA Colorado Springs, will take his turn in the rotation tonight when the Brewers open a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cravy is 0-2 with a 3.60 ERA in three outings with the Brewers.  He was 7-7 with a 3.97 ERA at Colorado Springs in 17 starts.

Lohse started the season as the Brewers number-1 pitcher but struggled from the very start.  Before being demoted, Lohse was 5-13 with a 6.31 ERA in 22 starts.  He allowed 25 home runs.

Lohse led the National League with 152 hits allowed, 13 losses and 87 earned runs allowed.  The 25 home runs allowed ranked second last, behind Colorado’s Kyle Kendrick (26).

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell warned his team after Sunday’s 4-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs that no team was going to feel sorry for his undermanned Brewers and they can’t start feeling sorry for themselves.

The Brewers were swept by the Cubs in four games and have now dropped five-straight games and 10 of their last 12.  The Brewers managed to score just eight runs during the series loss to Chicago.

Ryan Braun had three of the Brewers eight hits, but the Brewers lacked punch after losing Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Gomez and Gerardo Parra to recent trades. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers eight-game winning streak came to an end, falling 5-3 to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night at Miller Park.

Atlanta starter Matt Wisler held the Brewers to three runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings for his 8th win of the season.

The Braves got to Brewers starter Kyle Lohse early, scoring four times in the first two innings.  Four of the Braves first five batters reached base against Brewers starter Kyle Lohse (5-10).  Kelly Johnson clubbed a two run homer, the 20th home run allowed by Lohse this season.  He allowed 22 all of last season.

Gerardo Parra led off the bottom of the first with his eighth home run of the season, cutting the deficit to 2-1 before the Braves scored twice more in the second to go up 4-1.

The Brewers entered the game averaging 14-hits a game on their recent road trip, but it didn’t carry over to their series opener at home last night.

Rookie Tyler Cravy pitches game two of the series for the Brewers tonight.  Cravy takes the spot in the rotation vacated by Matt Garza, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder tendonitis.
