The Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up their 10-game road trip with a 2-8 record, ending with a 15-2 loss to the Washington Nationals.  It was a game the Brewers will quickly try to forget as they return home to open a weekend series against the division leading Cubs.

Washington clubbed eight home runs in the win, two shy of the Major League record and one shy of the National League record.  The Brewers have now fallen 1 1/2 games behind the Cubs, who beat the White Sox 6-3 on Thursday night.

Michael Blazek made his first major league start after Matt Garza went on the disabled list with a calf strain.  Blazek surrendered six home runs, including five in the third inning.  Wily Peralta took over and coughed up two more.

Blazek is the first pitcher in Major League history to surrender five home runs in an inning and the first starter to surrender six in less than three innings. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen has been leaking water.  That leak got bigger on Sunday as the Brewers dropped their second straight to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 11-1 at Chase Field.

Chase Anderson allowed just one run on four hits in six innings of work, striking out eight for the Brewers.  The bullpen coughed up 10 runs in three innings as the Diamondbacks broke the game open.

Carlos Torres and Neftali Feliz gave up three homers and five runs in the seventh.  Rob Scahill and Wily Peralta then combined to allow five more runs in the eighth, including a grand slam by Paul Goldschmidt off of Scahill.

Torres has now allowed 16 hits in his last 6 1/3 innings, including four home runs with a 14.22 ERA over that period.  Feliz saw his ERA jump to 5.88 with seven homers allowed in 26 innings.

Brewers top prospect Lewis Bronson made his major league debut on Sunday, going 0-for-2 with a pair of walks and was credited with his first stolen base.  In his first at-bat against left-hander Robbie Ray, D-backs shortstop Nick Ahmed made a diving stop and throwing out Brinson at first base.

By

Eric Sogard went four for four and reached  base all five times, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-2 win over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego on Thursday.

Sogard’s two-run double in the seventh inning was the big blow for the Brewers, who have won nine of their last 11 games.  In the four game series, Sogard went 9 for 15 (.600) with three doubles, a home run, five runs batted in and four runs scored.

The Brewers took three of four from the Padres to improve to 24-18 and remain in first place atop the National League Central.  They Brewers are six games over .500 for the first time since Sept. 17, 2014. [Read more…]

Wily Peralta has been bumped from the starting rotation and will now work out of the Milwaukee Brewers bullpen.  Who takes Peralta’s place in the rotation will be announced sometime today (Thursday).  Peralta was scheduled to pitch the series opener in Chicago against the Cubs on Friday.

In eight starts this season, Peralta had a 4-2 record but his ERA is a hefty 6.08.  He made it through just 4 1/3 innings in each of his last two outings.

Peralta has appeared in 121 major league games with 120 of those coming in a starting role.

Junior Guerra is eventually expected to take the vacant spot in the rotation, but he’s scheduled to make one more start at double-A Biloxi.  So for at least Friday’s game against the Cubs, right-handed minor leaguer Paolo Espino could get the call up.  He was scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday for Class AAA Colorado Springs.  Espino is 4-0 with a 2.54 ERA.
