The Milwaukee Brewers relief corp has been solid from the left side with Will Smith, Zach Duke and now Tom Gorzelanny.  From the right side,

closer Francisco Rodriguez has been rock solid, but injuries to Jim Henderson and Tyler Thornburg and inconsistency from Brandon Kintzler and Rob Wooten has left a once rock solid bullpen a bit short.

Enter newly recalled Jeremy Jeffress who made Brewers 2014 debut on Wednesday.  He pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to close out the Cincinnati Reds
5-1 at Miller Park.  Jeffress opened some eyes with fast balls clocked at 97, 98, 99 and eventually 100 miles per hour.

It’s the second tour with the Brewers for Jeffress, who was the teams first-round draft pick in 2006.  He’s been held back by control issues on the mound and drug-related suspensions.  He pitched in 10 games for the Brewers in 2010, but was traded to Kansas City in the Zach Greinke deal.  [Read more…]

Another rough outing for Gorzelanny

By

Tom Gorzelanny had a solid start to the season in the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen.  The results have been mixed since he joined the Brewers starting rotation.

Last night, Gorzelanny worked just 5 1/3 innings, allowing 4-runs on 9-hits as the Brewers fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1 at PNC Park.

Marlon Byrd, who joined the Pirates in a trade with the New York Mets, clubbed a 3-run homer in the 7th to give the Pirates plenty of breathing room.  He also made life difficult on Gorzelanny in the earlier with a 14-pitch battle that lasted more than 5-minutes.  Byrd eventually struck out.

Carlos Beltran and Allen Craig both clubbed long home runs and Cardinals pitcher Jake Westbrook clubbed a 2-run double to provide the initial cushion.

But Westbrook struggled to protect that lead, serving up a 3-run homer to Aramis Ramirez and eventually departing before the 5th inning.

Brewers starter Tom Gorzelanny gave up 7-runs on 10-hits in just 3 2/3 innings in his second straight poor start.  He’s now given up 16 hits and 12 earned runs in 8 1/3 innings in his last two outings, including 4 home runs. [Read more…]

Brewers drop opener to the Padres
