Tyler Saladino was looking to play hero for the second straight day, but the Brewers bullpen didn’t allow for it to happen as Milwaukee suffered a 6-5 loss in their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds at Miller Park on Monday night.

Saladino took a first pitch fastball and homered to straight away center, his second grand slam in as many days.  It put the Brewers up 5-4 and their third straight come-from-behind win in sight.

However, Josh Hader wasn’t available to slam the door in the ninth and that proved trouble for the Brewers.  They instead went with Jeremy Jeffress for the third straight day.  Jeffress hung a breaking ball to Eugenio Suarez, who deposited it into the seats in left center, giving the Reds the comeback win.

By

After trailing early 4-0, the Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 7-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Sunday.

Tyler Saladino clubbed a fourth inning grand slam for the Brewers to even the score 4-4.  Then Mike Moustakas’ go-ahead, RBI-single ignited a three-run eighth inning to pull out the win.

Yasmani Grandal and Ben Gamel also plated runs in the eighth inning.  Keston Hiura got the rally started with an opposite-field triple into the right-field corner.

Freddy Peralta picked up the victory and Josh Hader nailed down his 22nd save.

Brewers all-Star starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff left after three-plus innings with a strained left oblique and is headed for the 10-day injured list.

The Brewers moved to within two games of the division leading Cubs, who lost 5-1 to the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Now Milwaukee returns home to open a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds at Miller Park tonight.  Chase Anderson (5-2, 3.96 ERA) goes for the Brewers.  Right-hander Sonny Gray (5-6, 3.40) goes for the Reds.

The Milwaukee Brewers head into the Major League Baseball All-Star break with two straight losses and five of their last six.  The Brewers fell Sunday to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, dropping two of three in the series.

Junior Guerra coughed up a three run home run to Pittsburgh’s Bryan Reynolds in the seventh inning and the Pirates held on for the victory, their 5th in the last seven games.

The Brewers go into the break trailing the Chicago Cubs by a half game, while the Pirates are just two behind the Brewers and 2 1/2 games off the lead.

Jesus Aguilar homered twice for the Brewers, his 7th and 8th of the season in the loss.  Keston Hiura also [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers gave Travis Shaw every opportunity to get out of his season-long slump and their patience has finally run out.  The Athletic reported the Brewers optioned Shaw to Class AAA San Antonio and recalled second baseman Keston Hirua.  They also are bringing up utility player Tyler Saladino and designating Hernan Perez for assignment.

After going 0-for-2 on Thursday, Shaw was hitting .164 with six home runs and 13 RBI in 57 games for the Brewers.

In 17 games in the month of June, Perez was hitting just .196 for the month, .107 in his last nine games.  He was hitting .235 in 59 games this season, clubbing five home runs and 11 RBI.

Hiura was hitting .329 at San Antonio with 16 doubles, 19 home runs and 46 RBI.  He hit .281 with five home runs during a 17-game stint with the Brewers earlier this season.

Saladino was hitting .288 with 14 home runs and 57 RBI in 67 games at San Antonio.  Both Saladino and Hiura were selected as Pacific Coast League All-stars.

Burnes posts solid start for Brewers

By

After getting knocked around in his last start, Brewers pitcher Corbin Burns tossed three shutout innings on Tuesday, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 1-0 Cactus League victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Burnes allowed a couple of hits in the first, then settled down and allowed just one more hit in his final two innings.  He finished the outing with four strikeouts as he competes for a spot in the teams starting rotation.

The Brewers scored their only run in the seventh inning when Tyler Saladino doubled, scoring Jake Hager from first base.  Jesus Aguilar had a pair of hits for the Brewers, while Corey Ray took a run away from the Rockies when he made a diving catch against Trevor Story.

The Brewers improved to 4-7 in the Cactus League and they’ll face the Arizona Diamondbacks today.

The Brewers open their season March 28th against the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park.

 

Brewers elect not to bring Schoop back

By

Milwaukee Brewers GM David Stearns told reporters on Friday that the trade that brought Jonathan Schoop to Milwaukee for the final months of last season was a “bad deal”.

The Brewers weren’t willing to take a shot at arbitration with Schoop and didn’t offer him a deal for 2019.  It makes Schoop a free agent.

The Brewers also declined to make offers by the Friday deadline to left-handed relievers Dan Jennings and Xavier Cedeno.  They tendered contracts to all of their remaining arbitration-eligible players, including infielders Hernan Perez and Tyler Saladino.

Schoop played 46 games with the Brewers, but struggled.  He hit just four home runs and drove in 21 runs while striking out 41 times in 124 at-bats.  He earned $8.5 million last season and was projected to get around $10 million in his final year of arbitration.

The Brewers currently have 36 players on their 40-man roster, giving them some flexibility in free agency.

Travis Shaw’s three-run homer highlighted a seven-run fourth inning, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon at Miller Park.

Tyler Saladino added a solo home run and drove in two runs, while Jesus Aguilar drove in three runs, leading the Brewers to a sweep of the three-game series.

Brent Suter allowed a pair of solo home runs in 5 2/3 innings of work and improved to 4-3.

The Brewers improved to 31-19, the best record in the National League.  It’s also the best 50-game start for the Brewers in franchise history.

The Brewers finished 5-1 in their season series with Arizona.  The Diamondbacks came into Miller Park in a funk and it got even worse by the end.  They have lost 13 of their last 14 games.

The Brewers improved to 15-6 since being swept by the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

The Brewers open a four-game series against the New York Mets at Miller Park tonight.  Zach Davies (2-3, 4.24) returns from the disabled list to pitch for the Brewers.  Steven Matz (1-3, 4.42) gets the nod for the Mets.

Injuries force Brewers into more roster moves

By

All-Star closer Corey Knebel

The Milwaukee Brewers made a handful of injury-related roster moves on Wednesday, prior to their series finale against the Cleveland Indians at Miller Park.

Starting pitcher Wade Miley, who suffered an oblique strain in the first inning of Tuesday nights 3-2 win, was placed on the 10-day disabled list.

The Brewers filled Miley’s roster spot by reinstating All-Star closer Corey Knebel.  Knebel will be in the bullpen Wednesday afternoon for the series finale against the Indians after missing time with a hamstring injury.

Utility infielder Nick Franklin was called up on Tuesday, then suffered a leg injury in his first game.  He was placed on the 10-day disabled list today as well.  The Brewers filled Franklin’s spot on the roster by recalling Tyler Saladino from the minor leagues.
