Brewers facing elimination after game 5 loss to Dodgers

By

Milwaukee Brewers manager went with another bullpen game on Wednesday afternoon, but this time, they ran into a dominating pitching performance as Clayton Kershaw led the Dodgers to a 5-2 win in Los Angeles.

Kershaw held the Brewers to a run and three hits in seven innings as the Dodgers took a 3-2 lead in the NLCS.  It puts the Brewers in a must win scenario in game six on Friday night at Miller Park.

Kershaw’s outing came after he didn’t make it out of the fourth inning in game one of the series at Miller Park.

Wade Miley started for the Brewers but faced just one batter before Craig Counsell went to Brandon Woodruff out of the bullpen.  After Miley walked the first hitter, Woodruff hit Justin Turner but struck out David Freese and got Manny Machado to ground into an inning-ending double play.

Brewers fall to Dodgers in 13 innings, series tied 2-2

By

Christian Yelich is hitting just .188 in the NLCS.

It took 13-innings before the Los Angeles Dodgers delivered the game winner to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 and even the NLCS at two-games apiece.

Cody Bellinger’s two-out single off Junior Guerra drove in Manny Machado with the game winner.

Guerra was the final of seven pitchers used by the Brewers.  Brewer pitchers allowed eight hits in 13 innings and struck out a postseason franchise-record 17 Dodgers.

Guerra was in his fourth inning of relief and retired the first batter before Manny Machado singled to left.  He moved to second on a wild-pitch and scored in Bellinger’s two-out single to right.

The game took 5 hours and 15 minutes to play, the second-longest NLCS game ever.

The two teams combined to use 16 pitchers and went a combined 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position, stranding a total of 21 base runners.

Bellinger also robbed Lorenzo Cain of an extra base hit in the 10th inning when he made a diving catch in right field.

Cain finished 0 for 6 with three strikeouts.  He’s hitting just .200 in the series.  Christian Yelich went 1 for 5 and is hitting just .188 in the series. [Read more…]

By

Jhoulys Chacin

The Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 in game 3 of the NLCS, giving the Brewers a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-seven series.

The Brewers have now pitched shutouts in three of their six postseason games.

Jhoulys Chacin tossed 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball to start, allowing just three hits while walking two and striking out six.  The Brewers used a total of five pitchers in the win, capped off by Jeremy Jeffress.  Jeffress loaded the bases in the ninth and then pitched out of the jam by striking out the last two hitters to preserve the victory.

The Brewers jumped out in front in the very first inning.  Christian Yelich drew a one-out walk and Ryan Braun doubled him home.

The Brewers wouldn’t score again until the six when Travis Shaw tripled and scored on a wild pitch to make it 2-0.

The Brewers scored their final two runs in the seventh when Erik Kratz doubled and Orlando Arcia homered to right.

The Brewers will look to go up 3-1 in the series against the Dodgers with game four on Tuesday night.  Gio Gonzalez (0-0, 4.50) pitches for the Brewers.  The Dodgers will send Rich Hill (0-0, 4.15) to the mound.

Monday’s win guaranteed at least one more game at Miller Park, but it also put the Brewers in a position to win the series in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers started their comeback in the seventh when Burns gave up a walk, followed by a Manny Machado single before being pulled.  Jeremy Jeffress came on to allow a run scoring single by Cody Bellinger and another single by Joc Pederson would load the bases. [Read more…]

Gonzalez will start series opener

By

The Milwaukee Brewers will send left-hander Gio Gonzalez to the mound in game one of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Miller Park.

Since being acquired from Washington on August 31, Gonzalez went 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA in five starts for the Brewers.

“We like the matchup against their lineup,” said manager Craig Counsell.  “It’s no secret that we’re going to use our pitching a little differently than the traditionalists would like.  And so far, the first matchup that we liked was Gio on the mound.

Gonzalez didn’t face the Dodgers this season. [Read more…]

Brewers throttled by Dodgers in series finale

By

The Milwaukee Brewers finished their eight game road trip out west with a 5-3 record and they’ll take it.  But they finished with two straight losses, including Thursday nights 21-5 blowout loss to the Dodgers.

The Dodgers had 18 hits and clubbed seven home runs.  Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin (10-4) gave up three of the long balls, allowing eight earned runs and not making it out of the fifth.

The 21 runs scored by the Dodgers is the most ever scored against a Brewers team.  With the hits and runs piling up, manager Craig Counsell once again went to a couple of position players to mop up, Hernan Perez and Erik Kratz.

The Brewers did score first after Christian Yelich doubled and eventually scored on a pair of wild pitches from Clayton Kershaw. [Read more…]

Dodgers beat Brewers in a walkoff

Matt Albers gave up a two-run homer to Yasmani Grandal in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Milwaukee Brewers lost 6-4 to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

The Brewers trailed 4-2 in the eighth inning before drawing even.  Mike Moustakas clubbed a run scoring double to make it 4-3 and Manny Pina’s rbi single tied the game 4-4.

The Dodgers missed chances to take the lead in the bottom of the 8th and then a chance to win it in the 9th.  But in the 10th, Matt Kemp singled and Grandal followed with the walk-off home run.

Pina and Lorenzo Cain both had three hits for the Brewers in the loss.

Chase Anderson retired the first 12 batters he faced before surrendering solo home runs to Grandal and newly acquired infielder Brian Dozier.

The Brewers dropped to 5-2 on their current eight-game road trip out west.  They also dropped a game behind the Chicago Cubs in the Central Division standings after the Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-2 earlier.

The final game of the series is tonight at 8 p.m.  Jhoulys Chacin (10-3, 3.45) gets the call for the Brewers.  Clayton Kershaw (4-5, 2.52) goes for the Dodgers.

 

Thames leads Brewers past Dodgers

By

Eric Thames

Eric Thames clubbed a three-run homer in the third inning to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine.

Travis Shaw and Jesus Aguilar also drove in runs for the Brewers, who improved to 4-1 on their 8-game West Coast road trip.  Josh Hader pitched two innings of scoreless relief to earn his fourth victory.

Manny Machado’s first home game with the Dodgers was spoiled by the Brewers victory.  Machado did hit a solo homer in his Dodger Stadium debut.

Kenta Maeda didn’t make it out of the fifth inning to get tagged with the loss.

Rookie Freddy Peralta started for the Brewers but pitched out of trouble and allowed a run on three hits in four innings of work.  His pitch count reached 98 pitches in four innings and he was removed in favor of Hader.  Peralta allowed one run and three hits while walking four and striking out six.

The win allowed the Brewers to pull within a single game of the idle Chicago Cubs in the Central Division.  The Dodgers are up just 1/2 game over the Diamondbacks for the top spot in the NL West.

The Brewers will send Wade Miley to the mound in game two of the series tonight.  Miley is 3-0 in six career starts lifetime at Dodger Stadium with a 2.41 ERA.

The Milwaukee Brewers capped off a three-city road trip by taking 2 of 3 from the Los Angeles Dodgers, pulling out a 3-2 victory on Sunday.  The Brewers went 5-4 on the road trip and return home to Milwaukee just two games behind the Central Division leading Chicago Cubs.

The Brewers became the first team to claim a series from the Dodgers since the first week of June.  The Dodgers had gone 19-0-3 in their previous 22 series.

Jimmy Nelson didn’t allow a hit until the sixth and ended up pitching 6 2/3 innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits.  Nelson improved to 10-6 on the season with a 3.75 ERA.

The Brewers scored all of their runs off of Dodgers starter Yu Darvish, who made it through five innings.  A first inning error allowed the Brewers to jump out in front 1-0.  They scored two more in the third on a home run by Hernan Perez and a run-scoring single by Domingo Santana.  [Read more…]

Brewers miss chance to gain ground

By

Craig Counsell

The Milwaukee Brewers managed just one hit, a second inning Domingo Santana home run, and fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 in their series opener at Dodger Stadium on Friday night.

The Brewers missed a golden opportunity to pick up some ground in both the division and wild card races.  Both Chicago and Colorado lost on Friday night as well, so the Brewers remain three games behind the Cubs in the Central Division title chase and 3 1/2 games behind the Rockies in the chase for the final wildcard playoff spot.

Dodger starter Kenta Maeda worked six innings, allowing only Santana’s home run.

Chase Anderson made his second start in his return from an oblique strain and took the loss.  He allowed two runs on six hits in five innings pitched.

The Dodgers tied the game 1-1 when Logan Forsythe clubbed a solo home run in the fourth.  Yasmani Grandal’s RBI single in the fifth put the Dodgers up for good in the fifth at 2-1.  Yasiel Puig added insurance with his 23rd home run of the season, off of Jared Hughes in the sixth.

Zach Davies (14-7, 4.09) pitches game two of the series tonight.  The Dodgers will counter with Ross Stripling (3-4, 3.41).
