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.

Anderson leads Brewers to opening day win (AUDIO)

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…]

Brewers perched at the top of NL Central

By

The Milwaukee Brewers are supposed to be rebuilding.  Nobody knows how long this recent streak of success will last, but for now, the Brewers are at the top of the National League Central Division, looking down at the other four teams.

Jett Bandy’s ninth-inning RBI single was the highlight of a two-run rally and the Brewers beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 at Petco Park on Wednesday night.

The Brewers won for the eighth time in the last 10 games to climb five games over .500 at 23-18.  It’s the first time they’ve reached that mark since September of 2014.

Travis Shaw returned to the Brewers lineup after missing two games with a finger injury and immediately paid dividends by driving in Eric Sogard with a rbi single to center.  That would be it until the ninth inning for the Brewers offense. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers fell behind 3-0 to San Diego on Monday night, but they battled back to force extra innings before eventually losing 6-5 to the Padres.

Playing without regulars Travis Shaw (finger), Orlando Arcia (rest), Eric Thames (illness) and Ryan Braun (disabled list), the Brewers still managed to make a game of it.  In fact, Eric Sogard’s second home run in four games gave the Brewers a 5-4 lead in the top of the 10th inning, only to see San Diego’s Hunter Renfroe club a walk-off, game winning two-run home run in the bottom of the 10th to pull out the victory for the Padres.

Jesus Aguilar (3-hits) clubbed a home run in the sixth inning and Domingo Santana (3-hits) drove in three runs, the last of which came on a run scoring single in the 8th that scored Hernan Perez and tied the game 4-4.

Sogard, who has two home runs already with the Brewers, has hit just 10 in his career overall.

The Brewers used new closer Corey Knebel in the 9th and went to Oliver Drake (2-1) in the 10th.  Drake, who had pitched well for the Brewers in relief, gave up the game winner to Renfroe.

Padres starter Luis Perdomo struck out a career-high nine over six innings for the Padres.  Brewers pitcher Chase Anderson allowed four earned runs on six hits with three walks and five strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

Brewers make roster move

The Brewers designated relief pitcher Jhan Marinez for assignment and recalled left handed pitcher Brent Suter from Class AAA Colorado Springs.

Marinez was 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in 15 appearances this season.

 

 

Shields shuts down Brewers

By

Brewers logoJames Shields struck out nine in seven innings to lead the San Diego Padres to a 3-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night at Miller Park.

The Brewers outhit the Padres eight to seven, but they had no extra base hits to help push runs across the plate.

Ryan Braun managed a single to extend his hitting streak to 12 games and Scooter Gennett returned from the disabled list because of an oblique injury in late April.  Gennett had a pair of singles.

Shields improved to 2-5, winning his first game since giving up 42-year-old Bartolo Colon’s first career home run last weekend.  Ryan Buchter earned his first save for San Diego, which has held their opponents scoreless in their last 23 innings.

Jimmy Nelson gave up two runs on five hits in eight innings but took the loss for the Brewers.  He dropped to four and three while the Brewers have now lost six of their last nine.
