Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton clubbed his NL-leading 37th home run of the season, tying the Marlins record for career home runs and the Marlins went on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 on Monday night at Miller Park.

Stanton also added to his league leading rbi total, which is now 105.  He matched Dan Uggla’s team home run mark of 154.

Yovani Gallardo allowed three home runs in all and made it through just 3 2/3 innings in taking the loss.  Gallardo fell to 8-9 on the season with the loss.

St. Louis and Pittsburgh both won, which means the Cardinals lead on the Brewers is now six games for the division lead.  The Pirates are also in front of the Brewers by 1 1/2 games for the final NL Wild Card spot.

The Brewers quickly fell behind 1-0 in the first, but scored twice in the bottom half to go up 2-1.  But back-to-back home runs by Marcell Ozuna and Garrett Jones in the second made it 3-2.  A run scoring single by Christian Yelich made it 4-2. [Read more…]

Peralta struggles again, Brewers blown out by Giants

August 30, 2014 By Bill Scott

Buster Posey went 5 for 5 while driving in three runs and scoring three more as the San Francisco Giants piled up 19 hits in a 13-2 route of the Milwaukee Brewers at AT&T Park last night.

Wily Peralta has been rocked now in back to back starts.  Last night, he was pulled after three innings when his pitch count reached 80 and his runs allowed count reached six.

Marco Estrada relieved Peralta and gave up two runs in the fourth and five more in the fifth.

Peralta (15-9) failed for the second straight outing to win his 16th game of the season.  After retiring leadoff man Angel Pagan, the Giants collected four straight singles and the Giants jumped out to a 3-0 lead. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers went 2-2 on their trip to Chicago and were headed to Los Angeles staring at Zach Greinke and Clayton Kershaw in the first two games of their weekend series with the Dodgers.

Not only did the Brewers beat those two, but they sent Dan Haren to the showers early after scoring six runs in the first three innings, on the way to a 7-2 win and sweep of the Dodgers.

Wily Peralta (15-7) pitched six scoreless innings, allowing 5-hits for his 15th win.  Peralta tied Adam Wainwright (St. Louis) and Johnny Cueto (Cincinnati) for the major-league lead with 15 victories.

The Brewers gave Peralta all the offense he would need early.  Jonathan Lucroy clubbed a 2-run home run and a 3-run double in his first two trips to the plate, tying his season high with five rbi’s.

Jean Segura’s sacrifice fly in the 3rd inning gave the Brewers their sixth run and Carlos Gomez, who walked his first two times up, sent his 20th home run of the season in the fourth.

The Dodgers didn’t score until the 8th when Andre Ethier and Scott Van Slyke belted back-to-back doubles off of reliever Marco Estrada.

The Brewers get a well deserved day off today before opening a 2-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Miller Park on Tuesday night.

Brewers struggle to score runs, fall to Cubs

August 14, 2014 By Bill Scott

Javier Baez and Anthony Rizzo hit back-to-back home runs as the Chicago Cubs jumped on Kyle Lohse early and beat the Milwaukee Brewers
4-2 at Wrigley Field.

Cubs starter Tsuyoshi Wada (2-1) was coasting until he was chased in the seventh, when he allowed back-t0-back home runs to Rickie Weeks and Martin Maldonado.  Wada allowed two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings.  He struck out five and walked one.

Kyle Lohse (11-7) allowed four runs on seven hits in three innings, and tweaked his right ankle during an at-bat.  It was the shortest outing of the season.

Lohse’s injury isn’t believed to be serious, but it’s not certain whether or not he’ll be able to make his next start on Aug. 19 against Toronto.

The Brewers can’t afford to lose another starter.  They’re already without Matt Garza, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique.

Marco Estrada came on in relief of Lohse and held the Cubs down for four innings.  He allowed two hits and struck out two.

Brewer bats quiet in loss to Toronto

July 2, 2014 By Bill Scott

Marco Estrada surrendered a pair of solo home runs but held the Brewers close before falling 4-1 to the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto.

Estrada leads the Major Leagues in home runs allowed with the number climbing to 26 now.  Estrada (7-5) worked six innings, allowing six hits before giving way to the bullpen.

Drew Hutchison was holding the Brewers in check.  He worked seven innings, striking out 10 hitters, including 8 of the first 12 to earn the win.

Jose Bautista and Colby Rasmus clubbed the Toronto home runs.

The Brewers got on the board in the sixth with Scooter Gennett singling with two outs.  Ryan Braun followed with a double to right field to score Gennett and cut the Toronto lead in half (2-1).

Toronto added a pair of insurance runs in the 8th against Rob Wooten on an RBI triple by Melky Cabrera and an RBI double by Edwin Encarnacion.

The final game of the series is this morning (11:37am).  Wily Peralta (9-5, 3.20) goes for the Brewers.  Toronto counters with J.A. Happ (7-4, 4.29).

Brewers salvage series finale

June 26, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers played without Ryan Braun, Jonathan Lucroy and Aramis Ramirez, getting the day off after a 16-inning marathon the night before.  But the Brewers still found plenty of offense to salvage the final game of the series, pulling out a 9-2 win over the Washington Nationals.

Scooter Gennett drove in five runs with a second inning grand slam and a run scoring single and Khris Davis drove in three more runs with a homer and a two-run single to lead the Brewers.

But even more important, Marco Estrada, who has struggled on the mound for more than a month, came through with his strongest outing in some time.

Estrada (7-4) didn’t allow a home run for just the second time this season.  He’s already surrendered a major-league-high 24.

AUDIO: Ron Roenicke says Estrada needed to pitch well :20

Washington scored first in the second inning and jumped in front 1-0 on a Nate McLouth groundout.  But the Brewers loaded the bases in the bottom half and Scooter Gennett clubbed a grand slam home run off of Washington starter Stephen Strasburg.  [Read more…]

Brewers bats come to life in Miami

May 24, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers bats came to life in Miami on Friday night, pulling out a 9-5 win over the Marlins.

Carlos Gomez had three straight doubles and four hits overall, Mark Reynolds clubbed a pair of two-run home runs and Khris Davis went deep to lead the Brewers 13-hit attack.  Eight of the thirteen hits went for extra bases.

With Ryan Braun still sidelined, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke moved Carlos Gomez into the cleanup spot, Jonathan Lucroy into the three-spot and Jean Segura into the leadoff spot.  For at least one night, the moves paid off.

Marco Estrada struggled on the mound but the offensive support allowed him to pick up the win and improve to 4-2 on the season.  Estrada served up four home runs, two to Giancarlo Stanton and two to Garrett Jones.  Estrada has now give up 16 home runs this season, which leads the Major Leagues.  In April, Estrada put together a 2.87 ERA in five starts in April.  In May, Estrada has made five starts and has a 5.16 ERA.

Wily Peralta (4-3, 2.18) pitches game two of the series for the Brewers tonight.  Jacob Turner (0-2, 6.59) goes for Miami.

Bullpen mixup leads to Brewers loss in Atlanta

May 23, 2014 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers coughed up a blew a 4-2 lead in the 7th and fell to the Atlanta Braves 5-4 at Turner Field last night.

With pitching coach Rick Kranitz and bullpen coach Lee Tunnell away to attend graduations within their families, communication between their replacements and manager Ron Roenicke suffered.

Roenicke wanted right-hander Brandon Kintzler and lefty Will Smith to warm up, but only Kintzler got ready to pitch.

Kintzler entered the game with the Brewers leading 4-2 in the 7th.  Gerald Laird hit a bouncer that caromed off the glove of diving third baseman Mark Reynolds and into shallow left for what became an RBI double, leaving runners at second and third.

Roenicke then went to the home plate umpire for a double switch, which included left hander Will Smith out of the bullpen.  Smith wasn’t loose and was given only 8 warmup pitches once he arrived to the mound.  The home plate umpire (Fieldin Culbreth) asked the league about allowing Smith to throw more warmup pitches and they said “no”.

The next hitter was pinch hitter Ryan Doumit who singled to drive in both runs and gave the Brewers the 5-4 lead.  It also spoiled a solid performance by Matt Garza who allowed 5  hits in 6 1/3 innings and was charged with four of the five runs.  The loss goes to Brandon Kintzler.

The Brewers dropped 3 of 4 to the Braves in the series and are now 2-5 on the road trip.  The Brewers have lost 12 of their last 15 games at Turner Field.

The Brewers will send Marco Estrada (3-2, 3.64) to the mound for game 1 of a three game series in Miami against Marlins right hander Tom Koehler (4-3, 2.25).

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.

since their Easter Sunday brawl at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.  Marco Estrada allowed 6-hits in six innings, walking two and striking out eight as the Brewers earned a 5-2 victory.  It’s the Brewers 7th win in eight meetings against the Pirates this season.

The Pirates jumped on the board in the first with a solo home run from Neil Walker, but they squandered several more chances over the next several innings.

Estrada struggled with his command but still held the Pirates in check, avoiding the big mistakes.  He improved to 6-0 with a 1.97 ERA in 13 appearances against Pittsburgh lifetime.

The Brewers gave Estrada a lead in the third when Jonathan Lucroy drove in two runs with a single in the third.

It was expected that Carlos Gomez would begin serving his suspension, imposed by Major League Baseball.  Gomez had his appeal heard on Friday, but MLB still hasn’t come up with a ruling on the matter. [Read more…]
