Brewers release Wolf

By

The Milwaukee Brewers have released left-handed pitcher Randy Wolf today.

Randy Wolf

Wolf struggled much of the season, posting a 3-10 record with a 5.69 ERA. 

Wolf went 13-12 with a 4.17 ERA in his first season with the Brewers and followed that up last year with a 13-10 record and a 3.69 ERA. 

Wolf is in the final year of his contract, but the deal does have a club option for 2013 with a $1.5-million buyout, which the Brewers will obviously have to pay.

In 142 1/2 innings, Wolf allowed a league highs in hits with 179 and earned runs with 90.

Shaun Marcum is scheduled to come off of injured reserve and pitch against the Pirates Saturday or Sunday.  Wolf’s release will allow Marcum to move into the rotation.

The Brewers also called up infielder Jeff Bianchi from Class AAA Nashville.

Randy Wolf (3-10) took the loss for the Brewers.  He allowed 5-runs on 10-hits in 7-innings of work.  Wolf has dropped 4-straight decisions, the second time this season he’s reached that mark.

The Brewers and Phillies split the 4-game series which means the Brewers are 8-1-2 in the last 11 home series.

The Brewers open a 3-game home series against the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park tonight.  Mark Rogers (0-1) goes for the Brewers.  Justin Germano (2-2) goes for the Cubs.

 

Colorado rocks Brewers again!

By

The Colorado Rockies jumped on Milwaukee Brewers starter Randy Wolf for 4-runs in the first inning and held on for a 8-6 win at Coors Field last night.

For the second straight night, the Rockies banged out 15-hits on their way to victory.  Carlos Gonzalez led the way with 4-hits and Eric Young Jr. homered for the Rockies.

Tyler Chatwood also pitched six effective innings for Colorado.  He allowed 2 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits before giving way to the Rockies bullpen.

The Brewers made it interesting late, scoring 3 runs in the 9th inning.  Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt was able to get Rickie Weeks to pop out and Ryan Braun to fly out to end it.

Mark Rogers pitches the series finale for the Brewers this afternoon.

Brewers sweep Reds!

By

It’s too little, too late for the Milwaukee Brewers, but they’re starting to play like most thought they could at the start of the season.

Ryan Braun broke an 0-for-18 slump with an 8th inning RBI double to lead the Brewers to a 3-2 come-from-behind win over Cincinnati, sweeping the Reds in the 3-game series.

Cardinals grab series opener from Brewers

By

Rookie right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly broke a 3-3 tie with a run scoring single and the St. Louis Cardinals went on to knock off the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Kelly (2-4) broke a 3-start losing streak by allowing 3 earned runs and 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings. 

His first-pitch RBI single to left off of Randy Wolf (3-8) capped a 4-run outburst by the Cardinals in the fourth inning.

The Brewers scored 3-times in the second inning, jumping out to a 3-0 lead.  Wolf drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single.

Ryan Braun, who entered the game with a NL leading 29 home runs, had three hits including a pair of doubles, but the Brewers tied a season high with four errors, including the first in 51 games at first base for Corey Hart.

Game two of the series is tonight.  Mark Rogers makes his second start of the season for the Brewers.  The Cardinals will go with veteran Adam Wainwright.

 

Wolf gets first win since April, Axford loses closer job

By

Randy Wolf’s streak of 13-starts without a victory came to an end Tuesday night as the Brewers knocked off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 at Miller Park.  The last time Wolf earned a win was April 30th.

Wolf lasted 6 2/3 innings allowing 2-runs on 8-hits with 6 strike-outs.  He left the game in the hands of Jose Veras with 2-outs in the 7th and runners on 2nd and 3rd.  Veras got Cardinals SS Rafael Furcal to pop ending the threat.  Manny Parra struck-out a pair and gave up nothing in a scoreless 8th frame.  Francisco Rodriguez had a shaky 9th allowing a couple of hits but got out of the jam and notched his 2nd save of the year.  Rodriguez wanted to make sure Wolf got the win…

Axford blows another save (AUDIO)

By

For the 6th time in 22-chances this season, John Axford entered the game with Brewers leading and he couldn’t hold on.  Milwaukee fell to the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Monday night at Miller Park.  Axford gave up all three runs with two-outs.

Axford started the inning by walking Matt Carpenter before getting Lance Berkman and Carlos Beltran to fly out.  Rafeal Furcal then had an infield single followed by another Axford walk, this time to Skip Schumacker.  Matt Holiday then connected on a 2-RBI single followed by an Allen Craig blooper for the game winner before Kameron Loe came in to get the final out.  Axford called it his worse outing of the season…

Brewers lose another late lead (AUDIO)

By

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…

Brewers fall to Diamondbacks

By

The Milwaukee Brewers suffered a 4-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday in Phoenix and in doing so, dropped their 4th straight series. 

It also marked the first home series win for Arizona since their season opening sweep over the San Francisco.

Jose Veras took the loss in relief, surrendering RBI singles to Ryan Roberts and Henry Blanco.

Ron Roenicke was short another player, placing first baseman Travis Ishikawa (oblique strain) on the disabled list.  Catcher George Kottaras had to leave the game with a hamstring cramp, and reliever Kameron Loe wasn’t available because of elbow soreness.

The Brewers head to Los Angeles to open a 4-game series against the Dodgers tonight.  Shaun Marcum gets the start for the Brewers.

 

Brewers bats back in the cooler

By

Just one day after the Milwaukee Brewers scored 16-runs against the Minnesota Twins, they put up just 3 runs on 6-hits in a 4-3, 14-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants at Miller Park.

The Giants got 3-runs in the first inning on Buster Posey’s 3-run homer off of Randy Wolf.  They wouldn’t score again until the 14th inning when backup catcher Hector Sanchez clubbed a leadoff homer off of left-hander Juan Perez.

Ryan Braun hit a 2-run homer in the 8th to tie the game at 3 and send it to extra innings.  But the Brewers had nothing from that point moving forward.  Braun had to leave the game after a 10th inning ground out after his groin tightened up on him.

AUDIO: Ryan Braun says they’re frustrated :13

The Brewers and Giants play game 2 of their series tonight.
