Brewers swept by Angels

By

Another single bad inning has cost a Milwaukee Brewers starter a chance at a win.

Brandon Woodruff allowed four runs in the third inning and the Brewers fell to the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 in Anaheim on Wednesday night.  It’s the sixth straight win for the Angels, who swept the three-game series from the Brewers.

To make matters worse, the Brewers, after an off day today, will open a three-game series against the Dodgers on Friday night.

The Brewers had won their first three series this season and hadn’t lost a series since last July when they dropped five games in four days to the Pittsburgh Pirates just before the all-star break.

In two innings before the third and three innings after, Woodruff allowed just one hit and no runs.

Christian Yelich gave the Brewers an early 1-0 lead with a run-scoring single in the first.  He struck again in the seventh, scoring Orlando Arcia with another run scoring single.

The Brewers lose third baseman Travis Shaw in the second inning.  He left early after being hit by a pitch on his right hand.  X-rays were negative and Shaw is listed as day-to-day with a bruised hand.

 

Brewers drop second straight to Angels

The Milwaukee Brewers fell behind 6-0, rebounded to take an 8-7 lead, before falling to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 11-8 on Tuesday night.

It’s the third time in the last five games that the Brewers pitching staff has allowed at least 10 runs.

Tommy La Stella capped off the Angels six-run first inning with a three run home run.  It was his second long ball of the season and second in as many games.

Former Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy drove in three runs in the win.  He drew a bases loaded walk in the seventh that pushed across the winning run.

Brewer pitchers walked six batters in the loss.  Two of the six came in the 8th off of Jake Petricka as the Angels scored twice to add to their lead and pull out the win.

Angels outfielder Mike Trout left the game early with a strained groin and is listed as day-to-day.  That could keep him out of tonight’s series finale.

Yasmani Grandal homered twice and Mike Moustakas also went deep for the Brewers.

Freddy Peralta got the start for the Brewers but managed just 3 1/3 innings before giving way to the bullpen.  He allowed 7 earned runs on 8 hits with two walks and two home runs.  Peralta saw his ERA climb to 6.91.

Alex Claudio took the loss in relief.

Brandon Woodruff (1-0, 6.00) gets the start for the Brewers in the series finale.  Felix Pena (0-1, 4.50) gets the nod for the Angels.

The Milwaukee Brewers kept Mike Trout in check but his teammates picked up the slack as the Los Angeles Angels pulled out a 5-2 win in their series opener at Angels Stadium in Anaheim.

Tommy La Stella, Andrelton Simmons and Justin Bour all belted their first home runs of the season in the Angels victory.

The home runs by Simmons and La Stella came off of Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin, who allowed only one other hit in 6 1/3 innings of work, but was saddled with his first loss (2-1) of the season.

The game featured some top plays defensively.  Christian Yelich made a lunging catch of a drive by former Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy in right center.  Yelich then fired to second to double off Albert Pujols at second base.

Just one inning later, Mike Trout pulled off an even bigger play, making a leaping catch at the wall in [Read more…]
