Brewers win 7th straight over Pittsburgh

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.

The Milwaukee Brewers gave regulars Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramirez and catcher Martin Maldonado the day off on Sunday, but the reserves came to the rescue, knocking off Lance Lynn and the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 at Miller Park.

Lynn entered Sunday’s game with a 6-2 career mark and 2.23 ERA against the Brewers.  But the Brewers broke through against Lynn in the third.  Logan Schafer singled and scored on Gerardo Parra’s triple.  Adam Lind followed with a two-run homer to right-center and the Brewers led 3-0. [Read more…]

Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez suffered a slight hamstring tear while trying to leg out an infield hit on Wednesday and after an examination yesterday, was place on the 15-day disabled list.

Gomez will be re-evaluated next week to determine if he will be out more than 15 days.  The Brewers are expected to make a corresponding player move before tonight’s game in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.

Without Gomez, the Brewers will likely give time in center field to Gerardo Parra and Logan Schafer.

Parra is hitting just .190, while Schafer is hitless in four trips to the plate.

The Colorado Rockies put on another offensive display Tuesday night at Miller Park, pounding out 12 hits in a 5-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Rockies have 28 hits in the first two games, including 12 doubles.  Brewers starter and loser Matt Garza said it appeared at times that the Rockies knew what pitch was coming.

Brewers are ready to open the season

April 3, 2015 By Bill Scott

Miller Park batting practiceBarring any late changes or injuries, the Milwaukee Brewers have their 25-players that they’ll open the season with on Monday against the Colorado Rockies at Miller Park.

The Brewers haven’t announced their plan for relief pitcher Jim Henderson, but they’ll decide on one of two options.  He’ll either open the season in the minors or on the disabled list.

The Brewers decided to give the final roster spot to outfielder Logan Schafer instead of utility infielder Elian Herrera.  Herrera will head to Class AAA Colorado Springs, which means Luis Jimenez and Hector Gomez will serve as the Brewers backup infielders. [Read more…]

Brewers are down, but not out

September 21, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers climbed back to within 3 1/2 games of the Pittsburgh Pirates for the final National League wild card spot by blanking the Pirates 1-0 on Saturday night at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.

The Brewers didn’t score the game winner until a sacrifice fly in the top of the 9th.

Matt Garza hit Andrew McCutchen in the third inning and Pittsburgh’s Edinson Volquez responded in the fourth by throwing way inside to Ryan Braun leading off the fourth.  Both benches were warned at that point.  So when Garza hit McCutchen again in the fifth inning, he was ejected from the game.  So was his manager Ron Roenicke.

Six Brewers relievers kept the Pirates off the scoreboard after Garza’s ejection.  Logan Schafer then delivered a sacrifice fly to left to give the Brewers the win.

Francisco Rodriguez worked a perfect bottom of the ninth to notch his 43rd save and 347th of his career, which ties him for 10th on the all-time list with Randy Myers.

The Brewers and Pirates close out the series today.  Wily Peralta (16-10, 3.70) pitches for the Brewers.  Vance Worley (7-4, 3.18) goes for Pittsburgh.

Brewers losing skid reaches eight games

September 4, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers’ late season slide continued on Wednesday night, falling 6-2 to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.  The Cubs completed their first home sweep of the Brewers since 2004.

The Brewers started the road trip with a 10-1 victory in San Diego.  Since then, they’ve lost eight straight games.  They were outscored 55-16 during the losing streak.  They started the road trip with a 1 1/2 game lead on the St. Louis Cardinals atop the NL Central.  They come home trailing the Cardinals by three games after St. Louis blanked Pittsburgh 1-0 yesterday.

Matt Garza (7-8, 3.87), who had missed the last month with an oblique injury, returned to the Brewers rotation, but he allowed all six Cub runs on eight hits before departing.

The Brewers actually scored first, getting a run off of Chicago’s rookie right-hander Kyle Hendricks in the second inning.  Khris Davis singled with one out, moved up on Matt Clark’s grounder and scored on Logan Schafer’s single to center. [Read more…]

Brewers acquire OF Parra before trade deadline

July 31, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers made one deal before this afternoons (3pm) Major League Baseball trade deadline.  They added the left-handed hitting outfielder Gerardo Parra from the Arizona Diamondbacks.  In return, the Brewers sent minor league outfielder Mitch Haniger and minor league pitcher Anthony Banda to Arizona.

Parra is hitting .259 with six home runs and 30 RBI in 104 games this season.  He has made 98 starts.  Parra had spent his entire professional career in the Diamondbacks organization.  He is a career .274 hitter.

Parra is an outstanding defender, winning gold gloves in left field in 2011 and right field in 2013.  Entering today, his 62 outfield assists since 2009 were tied for second with two others in the Major Leagues, trailing only the Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista (63).

To make room on the roster, the Brewers sent outfielder Logan Schafer to Triple-A Nashville.

The 24-year-old Haniger was selected by the Brewers in the supplemental first round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft.  He batted .255 with 10 HR and 34 RBI in 67 games at Double-A Huntsville this season.  The 20-year-old Banda was selected by the Brewers in the 10th round of the 2012 draft.  He was 6-6 with a 3.66 ERA and 2 saves in 20 games (14 starts) at Class-A Wisconsin this season.

Lack of offense gets Brewers again

May 19, 2014 By Bill Scott

Travis Wood pitched two-hit ball for seven innings and the Chicago Cubs got home runs from Wellington Castillo and Mike Olt in a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday at Wrigley Field.

The Brewers had the first shot at putting up some offense when Wood, after two were out in the first inning, walked three straight Brewer hitters.  But Khris Davis came to the plate and swung at the first pitch and grounded into an inning ending fielders choice.

Marco Estrada (3-2) pitched five innings, giving up four runs and seven hits, including the two Chicago home runs.  Estrada has now given up 12 home runs in nine games this season.

Estrada says he didn’t have a feel for his pitches, especially his changeup, which he left up on Castillo’s two-run homer in the second that gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead.

The Cubs added a run in the third when Starlin Castro and Luis Valbuena hit back-to-back two-out doubles.

In the Fourth inning, Olt clubbed his team-leading ninth home run of the season to make it 4-0.

The Brewers scored their only run in the fifth inning.  After Logan Schafer doubled, Rickie Weeks followed with a two-run homer to cut the Cubs lead in half.  But the only other Brewer hit would come in the 9th when Ryan Braun would lead off with a double to right.

Wood (4-4) allowed two runs and struck out seven to give the Cubs two wins in the three game series.

The Brewers had been scoreless for 20 straight innings, since the second inning Friday, and struck out 39 times in the three game series.  The Brewers have scored a total of 11 runs over the last five games.

Wily Peralta pitches game one of series in Atlanta against the Braves tonight.

Cardinals end Brewers 9-game win streak

April 15, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers managed just 3-hits last night and saw their 9-game win streak come to end, falling to the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 at Miller Park.

Lance Lynn and Carlos Martinez shut the Brewers lineup down, handing Milwaukee its first defeat since April 2nd.

Matt Garza lost his Brewers debut 1-0 to the Atlanta Braves on that day.  He took the loss last night as well, surrendering a second inning solo home run to Jhonny Peralta and a three-run blast off the bat of Jon Jay in the 6th.

But Garza has had no support at all.  He’s pitched 15-innings in two games at Miller Park and hasn’t received a single run from the Brewers offense. [Read more…]
