Brewers pound Pirates in series opener

September 1, 2012 By Bill Scott

Corey Hart and Aramis Ramirez hit homes runs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday

Corey Hart

night.

Brewers starter Mark Rogers (3-1) gave up just 1-run in 5 1/3 innings to win his third straight outing.  He had plenty of offensive support as well.  Hart and Ramirez both had three hits.  Ramirez drove in four runs and Nyjer Morgan added 3 hits, a walk and a stolen base.

The Pirates remained 1/2 game behind St. Louis for the final NL wild-card spot when the Cardinals fell (10-0) to the Washington Nationals.

Friday nights game may have been the last of the season for Rogers.  Team owner Mark Attanasio said on the team’s television broadcast during the game that Rogers would be shut down.

Rogers is at 134 1/3 innings, combining his work with Triple A Nashville and Milwaukee.  The most innings he has ever thrown in a season prior to this season is 126 innings back in 2010.

Brewers swept by Rockies

August 16, 2012 By Bill Scott

Another blown game by the bullpen and the Milwaukee Brewers were swept by the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday in Denver.

Tyler Colvin’s 2-run double in the bottom of the 9th gave the Rockies a 7-6 win and a 3-game sweep over the Brewers.  Eric Young Jr. added a home run for the Rockies. 

Rickie Weeks had three hits and Nyjer Morgan added two hits and three rbi’s in the loss for the Brewers.

Brewers reliever Jim Henderson gave up back-to-back singles and a game-clinching double to Tyler Colvin in the 9th.  It was the 23rd blown save by the Brewers bullpen.

The Brewers had dropped 2 of 3 in Houston prior to the 3-straight losses in Denver to finish 1-5 on the road trip. 

Mark Rogers was in line for the win.  In four starts this season, Rogers saw victory pass him by for the third time.

The Brewers return to Miller Park to open a 4-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight.

Brewers lose another late lead (AUDIO)

July 5, 2012 By Bill Scott

Brewers Closer John Axford was one strike away from notching his 15th save of the season.  Instead, Gabby Sanchez connected on a solo home run to tie the game at 6 in the 9th and the Miami Marlins went on to win 7-6 in 10-innings Wednesday at Miller Park.  Hanley Ramirez drove in the winning run in the 10th off Manny Parra.  The loss is the 9th time in the last 11-loses the  bullpen took the loss.

The Brewers seemed to have the game in hand with a 5-1 lead after 6-innings.  Starter Randy Wolf was cruising along before giving up a 4-spot in the 7th that included home runs by Justin Ruggiano and Logan Morrison.  Wolf made it through 7-innings allowing 5-runs on 6-hits but picked up his 7th no decision in his last 9-starts.  Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke explains why he left Randy Wolf in the game…

Morgan shoves Reds fan!

June 28, 2012 By Bill Scott

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan, after getting tangled up with

Nyjer Morgan

a Reds fan while chasing a foul ball in the 9th inning, shoved the fan.

Cincinnati’s Devin Mesoraco hit a fly ball down the right-field line that drifted just over the concrete wall and Morgan was trying to make the catch.

As Morgan went to catch the ball, a Reds fan in the front row tried to do the same and got tangled up with Morgan. 

Morgan then shoved the fan as he backed away and the two exchanged a few words before umpire Marty Foster got Morgan back toward the field.

AUDIO: Nyjer Morgan on his mixup with a Reds fan :16

Manager Ron Roenicke daid the incident was no big deal.  He said the home fans are supposed to do that for their team.

Brewers offense goes on standbye!

June 18, 2012 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers put up 4 runs in the first 5-innings of their game with the Twins yesterday.  Unfortunately, they failed to score in the next 10-innings in their 5-4, 15-inning loss in Minnesota on Sunday.

Denard Span’s 2-out, run-scoring single off Juan Perez in the 15th inning won it for the Twins.  The game took 4-hours and 50-minutes to play, including a 42-minute rain delay in the 12th.

It’s the 4th time on the road trip that the Brewers opponent has won the game in their final at bat. [Read more…]

Brewers fall, drop 2 of 3 to Pirates

June 4, 2012 By Bill Scott

A Milwaukee Brewers rally fell just short as they fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 at Miller Park on Sunday. 

Fresh off a 4-game road sweep over the Dodgers, it looked like the Brewers were poised to make a run.  Instead, they dropped 2 of 3 to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Brewers played without Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez, who were nursing injuries, but they still managed to stay in it until the end. 

The two teams combined to hit 7 home runs, 6 of them solo shots.  The most important came off the bat of Clint Barmes.  His shot off of Brewers closer John Axford gave the Pirates a 2-run cushion that would prove to be huge. [Read more…]

Brewers swept by Braves

April 16, 2012 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers dropped their 4th straight game after being swept by

Braun & Morgan

the Atlanta Braves, 7-4 the final yesterday. 

Chipper Jones returned from knee surgery in March and clubbed a 3-run homer for the Braves.  Jason Heyward also homered for the Braves, who have won 5-straight after dropping their first 4-games.

Jonathan Lucroy homered and drove in 3-runs for the Brewers. [Read more…]

Greinke falls apart in series finale

April 13, 2012 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers missed out on a chance to sweep Chicago when they fell to the Cubs 8-0 on Thursday. 

Zach Greinke retired the first 6-batters he faced, then he fell apart.  When the dust settled, Greinke worked just 3 2/3 innings, surrendered 9-hits and all 8-runs were earned.   Certainly not what anyone expected after Greinke cruised in his first start against the St. Louis Cardinals last weekend.

Chicago’s Matt Garza on the other hand was nearly perfect.  He allowed just 3-hits in 8 2/3 innings to earn his first win of the season.  He missed the chance at a perfect game in the 9th when he fielded a 2-out come-backer and promptly delivered it into the stands on the fly. 

Garza allowed a single to Nyjer Morgan  two battles into the game, then held the Cubs without a hit until Morgan added another single with 1-out in the sixth.  Jonathan Lucroy’s single to right in the 8th inning was the only other Brewers hit.

The Brewers are in Atlanta tonight for the first of a 3-game series against the Braves.  Randy Wolf (0-1, 5.40 ERA) faces Jair Jurrjens (0-1, 6.23 ERA) of the Braves.

NLCS edge goes to the Cardinals

October 11, 2011 By Bill Scott

Albert Pujols went 4 for 5 with a 2-run homer, three doubles and five rbi’s to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 12-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.  The Cardinals banged out 17-hits in all, pulling even with the Brewers in the series 1-1. 

The edge in the series now belongs to the Cardinals, who will host the next three games in the series, starting with game 3 on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. [Read more…]
