Brewers extend stay hot, pull into wild card tie

September 18, 2019 By Bill Scott

Mike Moustakas

The Milwaukee Brewers managed just four hits against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night, but two of them went for home runs in a 3-1 victory at Miller Park.

Lorenzo Cain and Mike Moustakas both homered, with Moustakas’ blast breaking a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning.  Trent Grisham ended the scoring in the 8th with a sacrifice fly to center field in the eighth, driving in Ben Gamel, who reached on a double.

Brandon Woodruff got the start for the Brewers after being sidelined by an oblique injury since late July.  He pitched two innings, allowing no hits, walking one and striking out four.  He reached 99 on the radar gun and was working his fastball in the upper 90’s throughout his two innings of work.

Gio Gonzalez took over in the third, the first of four relievers to finish off the Padres.  Drew Pomeranz pitched the final two innings, recording six straight outs, four by strikeout.

The Padres only run came when Hunter Renfroe hit a solo home run to left field off of Matt Albers in the top of the seventh.

The win was the 82nd of the season for the Brewers, officially clinching their third straight winning season.

Game three of the four game series is Wednesday night.  Adrian Houser gets the start for the Brewers.

Grisham leads Brewers past Marlins

September 10, 2019 By Bill Scott

Trent Grisham finished a home run shy of the cycle, going 5-for-6 and driving in two runs, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 8-3 win over the Marlins in Miami.

Yasmani Grandal clubbed a two-run homer and Lorenzo Cain had three hits and drove in a run for the Brewers, who extended their winning streak to four games.

Grisham started the night hitting just .222.  Five hits later and his average climbed to .260.

Matt Albers got the final two outs of the fifth to get the victory in relief.

The Brewers couldn’t make up any ground on the Cubs in the Wild Card race.  The Cubs knocked off the San Diego Padres 10-2 to stay two-games in front of the Brewers.

Miguel Rojas went 3-for-5 with two RBI for Miami.  Ryan Duggar was the first of nine Marlins pitchers and took the loss.  Miami has dropped three of their last four games.

Chase Anderson pitches game two of the series for the Brewers on Tuesday night.

Grisham delivers game winner for Brewers

August 15, 2019 By Bill Scott

Rookie Trent Grisham delivered a three-run homer in the 8th inning on Wednesday, sending the Milwaukee Brewers to a come-from-behind 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Grisham was eventually put out the night before by Sergio Romo during a 9-pitch at bat, but Grisham used that experience to take Romo deep on Wednesday.

“Seeing him last night, kind of seeing how he was attacking me, attacking other guys kind of game me a little bit of an advantage,” said Grisham.

Grisham is hitting .314 in his first 35 Major League at bats.

Eric Thames added three hits and two RBI for the Brewers, who still made things interesting in the ninth inning.

Matt Albers came out of the bullpen and walked the bases loaded before eventually getting C.J. Cron to fly out to left-center to end it.

Gio Gonzalez wasn’t effective in his start, allowing three home runs, but the Brewers split the two game series and move within a game and a half of the Cardinals and Cubs in the Central Division.

The Brewers are off on Thursday before heading to Washington, D.C. to face the Nationals in the first of a three game series on Friday night.

Late defensive lapse cost Pirates

August 7, 2019 By Bill Scott

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Elias Diaz was called for base runner interference in the ninth, allowing a run to score, as the Milwaukee Brewers knocked off the Bucs 4-3 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.

Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and an RBI as Milwaukee played without Christian Yelich, who was held out of action with a sore back.

Junior Guerra got the win while Matt Albers nailed down his second save.  It gave the Brewers their second straight win.

Bryan Reynolds hit  his second home run in as many games while Jose Osuna had an RBI double.  Pablo Reyes doubled in a run in the ninth, but was stranded at second base.  Francisco Liriano fell to 4-and-3 with the loss.  The Pirates have lost three straight.

For the second straight day, Eric Thames led the Milwaukee Brewers to a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

After a triple and home run on Saturday, Thames clubbed a solo shot in the eighth inning to push the Brewers to a 2-1 win on Sunday.

Zach Davies, who pitched  5 1/3 inning and was solid in a no-decision, drove in the Brewers other run with a RBI single in the fourth.  His one run allowed was his fewest since throwing six scoreless innings at Minnesota on May 28th.

The home run by Thames came off of Kyle Crick in the seventh, his 12th of the season.

With Josh Hader unavailable, Matt Albers worked the ninth to save it for the Brewers.

The Brewers open a four-game series at Cincinnati against the Reds tonight.  They start the day at 45-39, tied with the Chicago Cubs for the Central Division lead.

The Brewers send Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.94) to the mound in the series opener.  It’s his fourth start of the season.  Houser is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA as a starter for the Brewers this season.

Eric Thames and Jesus Aguilar both homered as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 on Sunday, salvaging the final game of their three-game series.

Chase Anderson lasted only four innings but allowed just three runs.  Matt Albers picked up the win out of the bullpen as the Brewers avoided being swept in the series.

Junior Guerra and Jeremy Jeffress followed Albers with a scoreless inning each before Josh Hader retired the last six hitters to record his 17th save of the season.

Kevin Pillar, Brandon Belt and Jeff Samardzija all notched an RBI for the Giants.  Samardzija took the loss, allowing four runs over five innings for the Giants, who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end.

The Brewers open a three game series in San Diego against the Padres on Monday night.  Jhoulys Chacin (3-7, 5.74) returns from the disabled list to pitch for the Brewers.  Joey Lucchesi (5-4, 4.11) goes for the Padres.

Brewers fall to Phillies for third straight loss

May 14, 2019 By Bill Scott

Craig Counsell

The Milwaukee Brewers squandered several opportunities to score runs in their series opener in Philadelphia on Monday night, falling 7-4 to the Phillies.

“Collectively, we didn’t play well enough to win,” said manager Craig Counsell after the game.  “We didn’t play good enough defense, we didn’t pitch well enough and we left too many guys out there (on the bases).  We didn’t do enough to get this one, and (the Phillies) deserved it.”

Lorenzo Cain, who had been scuffling himself, had a five hit night, and Mike Moustakas hit his 10th home run of the season.  But the Brewers still left 15 runners on base on the night.

Freddy Peralta got the start for the Brewers but a high pitch count led to him pitching just four innings.  Peralta allowed two runs. [Read more…]

Davies delivers solid outing in Brewers victory

May 6, 2019 By Bill Scott

Craig Counsell

Just when the Milwaukee Brewers needed a solid pitching performance the most, Zach Davies delivered.

The Brewers needed 18-innings to beat the New York Mets on Saturday night and their bullpen was running on empty.  So Craig Counsell asked his starter on Sunday to go the extra yard to help that bullpen.

Davies threw 7 2/3 innings and 118 pitches to lead the Brewers to a 3-2 victory on Sunday as the Brewers pulled off the three-game series sweep.

Lorenzo Cain drove in the games first run with a sacrifice fly.  Christian Yelich returned to the lineup after missing five games and clubbed his league leading 15th home run of the season.

Cain had to leave the game after being struck on the hand by a pitch.  X-rays were negative.

The Brewers normally don’t take their starting pitchers beyond the 100 pitch mark.  Davies was at 108 after seven innings, but manager Craig Counsell still sent him out for the 8th. [Read more…]

Urias shuts down the Brewers

April 19, 2019 By Bill Scott

Julio Urias fired six shutout innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers knocked off the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 in their series opener on Thursday night at Miller Park.

Urias allowed just one hit and struck out nine for his first win.

Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy homered in a three-run sixth inning for the Dodgers.  Christian Yelich gave the Brewers their only run with a ninth inning home run off of Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen.  It’s the 10th of the season for Yelich.

Zach Davies tossed five shutout innings for the Brewers, seeing his ERA fall to 1.19.  Reliever Matt Albers allowed both Dodger home runs to take the loss. [Read more…]

Goldschmidt powers Cardinals past Brewers

March 30, 2019 By Bill Scott

St. Louis slugger Paul Goldschmidt clubbed three home runs on Friday night, leading the Cardinals to a 9-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park.

Goldschmidt entered the game  hitting .359 with a 1.114 OPS against the Brewers in his career.  He’s a career .407 hitter with a 1.271 OPS in Milwaukee.

Freddy Peralta fell behind 3-0 in the first inning but the Brewers managed to tie the game 3-3 when Ryan Braun clubbed a three run homer off of Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty.

Peralta allowed singles to Flaherty and Matt Carpenter to start the fourth inning and Brewers skipper Craig Counsell had seen enough.  Matt Albers came on and held the Cardinals to a single run for a 4-3 St. Louis lead. [Read more…]
