Brewers climb to within one game of Cubs in Central

By

Mike Moustakas scored on a wild pitch in the sixth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 in Chicago on Monday night.

Jonathan Schoop and Orlando Arcia also drove in runs for the Brewers, who climbed to within one-game of Chicago for the Central Division lead.

The Brewers have now won four straight games and 10 of their last 12, while the Cubs have dropped three straight.

After a slow start for Cubs starter Jon Lester, he was in control, retiring the first two hitters in the sixth inning.  But that’s when Lester started to suffer lower back stiffness, allowing a single to Moustakas and a double to Erik Kratz.

The Cubs went to Carl Edwards Jr., who uncorked a wild pitch on the very first pitch, allowing Moustakas to score what turned out to be the game winning run.

Josh Hader took over for the Brewers in the seventh inning and struck out all six batters he faced.  Jeremy Jeffress came on to save it for the Brewers in the ninth.

The Brewers and Cubs play game two of their series at Wrigley Field tonight.  Jhoulys Chacin (14-6, 3.59) goes for the Brewers.  Jose Quintana (12-9, 4.14) gets the nod for the Cubs.

 

Brewers use long ball to beat Padres

By

The Milwaukee Brewers exploded for five runs in the first inning and this time never looked back, knocking off the San Diego Padres 8-4 on Wednesday night at Miller Park.

Jesus Aguilar, Travis Shaw and Eric Thames clubbed back-to-back-to-back home runs in that second inning.  Orlando Arcia and Christian Yelich also homered for the Brewers.

The Brewers poured it on Padres rookie Brett Kennedy, who made his Major League debut after going 10-0 at Class AAA El Paso.  At one point in the first inning, the Brewers collected seven straight hits off of Kennedy.

Jhoulys Chacin went six innings for the win, improving to 11-4.

The Brewers and Padres play the rubber game of the series this afternoon.  Junior Guerra faces Robbie Erlin in the pitching matchup.

The Brewers start the day a game and a half behind the Cubs, who lost in Kansas City last night.

The Milwaukee Brewers made a series of roster moves today.  The biggest of which came when they sent shortstop Orlando Arcia to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Arcia has been mired in a season-long offensive slump, hitting .194 with two home runs and 13 RBI.  In 139 at bats, Arcia has 34 strikeouts and only seven walks.

The Brewers also sent right-handed pitcher Jorge Lopez to AAA Colorado Springs.  They recalled infielder Eric Sogard from Colorado Springs and right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser from AA Biloxi.

The Brewers also made a trade, acquiring minor league catcher Erik Kratz from the New York Yankees for a player to be named or cash.  Kratz was hitting .269 in 17 games with AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.  He had four home runs and six RBI.

To make room for Kratz, the Brewers designated catcher Jett Bandy for assignment.

The Milwaukee Brewers managed just two hits on Sunday, in a 9-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Miller Park.

Pirates pitcher Chad Kuhl continued to dominate the Brewers, allowing just one hit in seven innings and not allowing the crowd of 38,285 to ever get going.  It’s the seventh time this season the Brewers have been shutout, after being blanked just eight times all of last year.

It’s a big number already, for sure,” said manager Craig Counsell.  “The series in Chicago, conditions played a role.  But seven is too many right now.”

Besides the run production itself, the Brewers are 14-1 against Miami, Cincinnati, San Diego and Kansas City.  They are averaging 5.5 runs per game.  In their 20 games against winning teams, Chicago, St. Louis, New York and Pittsburgh, the Brewers are 6-14 and have averaged just 2.5 runs a game.

Brewers fall to Cardinals in extra innings

By

For the second night in a row, the Brewers and Cardinals needed extra innings to decide the outcome.  On Tuesday night, it was Matt Carpenter clubbing a two-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to beat the Brewers 5-3 in St. Louis.

Twice, the Brewers had late leads but couldn’t hold them.

Domingo Santana singled home Eric Thames to give Milwaukee a 2-1 lead in the ninth inning, only to see Tommy Pham score from second on a pair of wild pitches by Jacob Barnes to tie the game 2-2.

One inning later, Orlando Arcia singled in a run to put the Brewers up 3-2, but Greg Garcia’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th would tie the game at 3. [Read more…]

Brewers knock off Cubs in final at bat (AUDIO)

By

Shortstop Orlando Arcia singled to right against a five-man infield to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night at Miller Park.

The Brewers have now won four games in their final at-bat this season.

Travis Shaw, who homered for the first time this season in the Brewers four-run fifth inning, said the ninth inning is their inning.

Brandon Woodruff made it through just 3 2/3 innings because of a high pitch count, so the Brewers bullpen was again called on for extra duty and they came through.  Josh Hader, Jeremy Jeffress and Matt Albers took it the rest of the way to preserve the Brewers victory.

The Brewers ended their scoreless inning streak which had reached 22 innings. [Read more…]

Orlando Arcia singled in the go-ahead run in the top of the 12th inning as the Milwaukee Brewers knocked off the San Diego Padres 2-1 in 12 innings on opening day at Petco Park.

Newcomer Christian Yelich drove in the Brewers other run and Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-5 in his debut.

Still feeling the effects of the flu, Chase Anderson allowed just one hit over six scoreless innings.  Jeremy Jeffress earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief.  Jeffress had to pitch out of a 1-out, bases loaded jam in the 11th.  Jacob Barnes, who struggled all spring, struck out all three batters he faced in the 12th to earn the save.

The Brewers hit into a pair of hard hit double plays, then struggled to get to the Padres pitching staff for most of the remainder of the game.  San Diego starter Clayton Richard tossed seven innings of one-run ball in a no-decision.  The loss went to Adam Cimber for the Padres.

Freddy Galvis drove in the tying run in the 9th inning off of Brewers closer Corey Knebel. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers jumped out to an early lead, then found themselves hanging on for a tight 7-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Miller Park on Tuesday night.

The Reds scored four runs in the final innings before Brewers closer Corey Knebel slammed the door in the 9th with his 38th save of the season.

Domingo Santana gave the Brewers the early lead with a three-run home run in the first inning, his 29th of the season.  Stephen Vogt also notched the first of three doubles and scored on a Orlando Arcia single to give the Brewers a quick 4-0 lead.

Cincinnati’s Scott Schebler clubbed a two-run home run in the second to cut the lead to 4-2, but the Reds gave those two runs back in the third when Scooter Gennett’s throwing error scored a pair of runs.  It put the Brewers back up 6-2.

Zach Davies, who wasn’t sharp at all, made it through just four innings.  When the Reds put the first two runners on base in the fifth, manager Craig Counsell went to the bullpen and Davies bid for his 18th win would fall short.

Josh Hader took over and gave up a sacrifice fly which scored a run and made it 6-3.  Hader would go on to strike out six of the next seven he faced before Zach Cozart homered to left center. [Read more…]
