Wainwright leads Cardinals past Brewers

By

Adam Wainwright had struggled to an 0-3 start for the St. Louis Cardinals.  He started his turn-around in Milwaukee last night and held his own cause with the bat in a 6-3 Cardinals victory over the Brewers.

Wainwright clubbed a two run home run in the third inning, then added a two run single in the fourth, driving in four of the Cardinals six runs.

On the mound, Wainwright held the Brewers to a pair of runs on six hits while striking out nine over five innings.

Wily Peralta (3-1), off to a 3-0 start this season, departed after four innings, surrendering all six runs on nine hits.  He walked only one, but failed to record a strikeout. [Read more…]

Brewers cough up lead, fall to Cubs on walk-off homer

By

As it is, the Milwaukee Brewers finished their nine-game road trip with a 6-3 record, but it could have been better.

The Brewers got early home runs from Travis Shaw and Jett Bandy and jumped out to a 3-0 lead over Chicago.  But the Cubs came back to win 7-4.

Carlos Torres, Corey Knebel and Neftali Feliz all issued walks in the final four innings.  Those base runners came around to score.  Addison Russell provided the walk-off, game winning three-run home run off of Feliz to pull out their second straight come from behind win. [Read more…]

Nelson leads Brewers to series opening win over Reds

By

Jimmy Nelson pitched seven solid innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a series opening 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark on Thursday night.

Nelson allowed just five hits over seven innings with no walks and five strikeouts.  In two starts this season, Nelson is 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA.

The back end of the Brewers rotation has been very productive to start the season.  Wily Peralta is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA and Chase Anderson is 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA.

Ryan Braun clubbed his third homer of the season, his 36th career homer against the Reds.  Eric Thames also homered off of Reds starter and loser Bronson Arroyo. [Read more…]

Milwaukee starter Zach Davies forced manager Craig Counsell to go to his bullpen early again and the Brewers fell for the second straight day to the Colorado Rockies, this time 6-5.

Davies gave up six runs and nine hits while walking four and striking out only one in 4 1/3 innings to get saddled with the loss.

Ryan Braun clubbed his first home run of the season and Travis Shaw collected two more doubles, giving him four for the season.  Shaw’s four doubles are a franchise record through the first two games.

Brewers fall to Reds in Cactus League play

By

Just nine days before the season opener against Colorado at Miller Park and the Milwaukee Brewers are still looking to finalize the back end of their starting rotation.

Left-hander Tommy Milone gave up seven runs and nine hits in 3 1/3 innings as the Brewers fell to the Cincinnati Reds 12-11.  Milone has had a good spring and his hoping one bad outing won’t be a deciding factor in whether or not he makes the team or the rotation.

Manny Pina homered in his fourth straight game.  Eric Sogard tripled in a pair of runs and Ivan De Jesus Jr. raised his average to .405 with a 3 for 4 effort.

The Brewers return to Cactus League action this afternoon against the Kansas City Royals.  They’ll send Wily Peralta (0-0, 1.29) to the mound against Ian Kennedy.

The Milwaukee Brewers signed free-agent left-hander Tommy Milone to a one-year deal on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Milone has pitched six years in the majors, the last two-plus for the Minnesota Twins.  He went 3-5 with a 5.71 ERA for the Twins last season.

Milone will be given a chance to contend for a spot at the back of the starting rotation, if not a spot in the bullpen.  The Brewers finished last season with just one lefty (Brent Suter) on their roster.

The Brewers have seven candidates (Jimmy Nelson, Zach Davies, Junior Guerra, Wily Peralta, Matt Garza, Chase Anderson and now Tommy Milone) for five starting spots.

The Brewers have had inquiries from other teams concerning Guerra.
