Chase Anderson and two relievers combined on a two-hitter as the Milwaukee Brewers blanked the Chicago Cubs 4-0 at Miller Park on Tuesday night.  It’s just the second win against the Cubs this season and ended a 7-game losing streak against their rivals to the south.

Anderson gave up just one hit in seven innings to even his record at 5-5.  Anderson walked two and struck out six.

Travis Shaw was the hitting hero for the Brewers, driving in all four runs with a pair of two-run doubles in the first and third innings.

The win moved the Brewers back into first place in the NL Central, by a half game over the Cubs.

The Brewers and Cubs will close out their three game series this afternoon.  Jhoulys Chacin will get the start for the Brewers.  Mike Montgomery gets the nod for the Cubs.  First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m.

Albers on the DL

The Brewers have placed pitcher Matt Albers on the 10-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain.  They recalled pitcher Jorge Lopez from Triple-A Colorado Springs to fill the roster spot.

 

Brewers struggle to score runs, suffer 3rd straight loss

By

Craig Counsell

The Milwaukee Brewers racked up nine hits on Wednesday, but managed just one run in a 3-1 loss to the Indians in Cleveland.  The Indians swept the two-game series.

Carlos Carrasco scattered eight hits, seven of them were singles.  He walked just one while striking out 10 Brewers.

The Brewers scored first after Christian Yelich led off the second inning with a double.  He moved to third on a groundout and scored on a Travis Shaw RBI single.  But that would be it for the Brewers offense.

After Cleveland tied the game in the fifth, Brewers manager Craig Counsell removed starter Chase Anderson (4-5), going with Jeremy Jeffress to get out of a jam.  That plan failed after the normally dependable Jeffress surrendered the go-ahead run on a Jose Ramirez RBI double.  Jeffress then walked Edwin Encarnacion and Yonder Alonso, forcing in a third run to close out the scoring.

Counsell was ejected in the eighth inning, his third ejection this season.

The Brewers fell to 1-4 in the month of June.  They’re off today and open a 3-game series in Philadelphia on Friday night.
