The Milwaukee Brewers put up double-digit runs for the first time since June 12, rolling to a 10-5 win over the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field.

Kyle Lohse allowed 3-runs on 6-hits in 7-innings of work to earn his 8th win (8-7) of the season.  It was his first victory since July 24.

The Brewers broke the game open with a 5-run 6th inning.  Four of the five runs scored on Yuniesky Betancourt’s grand slam home run.

Nori Aoki, Jeff Bianchi, Martin Maldonado and Scooter Gennett all added two hits in the win.

Ron Roenicke was ejected in the 4th inning, just his second ejection of the season.  Game 2 of the series is tonight.

Brewers take two from the Cubs (AUDIO)

July 31, 2013 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers built their winning streak to 3-games Wednesday with a pair of wins over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Milwaukee took game one 6-5 after battling through some adversity.  With the Brewers leading 2-0, starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo had to leave the game in the 5th inning with a left hamstring strain.  There was no word on the severity of the injury.

After Gallardo left, the Brewers quickly fell behind 5-2.  In the 7th, Khris Davis sparked the rally with a 3-run home run, his 2nd of the season.  Jean Segura drove in the game winner with an RBI-double later in the frame.  Segura and Yuniesky Betancourt provided the early offense with solo homers.

Axford takes the loss as Brewers fall in Colorado (AUDIO)

July 29, 2013 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up the first leg of their six-game road trip with a 6-5 loss to the Colorado Rockies Sunday afternoon.

Milwaukee had a 5-4 lead going into the 8th inning before giving the ball to the recently sure handed John Axford.  The last time Axford picked up a loss was on May 1st.  Since then, he had worked his ERA from 10.32 down to 3.38 and had a stretch of 33-scoreless outings in 36-appearences.  Sunday,  Axford fell to 4-4 on the year by allowing consecutive doubles to Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Cuddyer as part of a 2-run 8th inning for Colorado.

Gallardo struggles in another Brewer loss

July 26, 2013 By Bill Scott

Yovani Gallardo’s disastrous 2013 hit another low Thursday afternoon.  The Brewers’ opening day starter couldn’t make it out of the 4th inning as the Brewers fell to the Padres 10-8 at Miller Park.

On the day, Gallardo lasted just 3 2/3 innings surrendering 6-runs on 8-hits as his record fell to 8-8 on the year.  Gallardo was frustrated with himself afterwards…

night and Carlos Gomez scored all the way from first base to give the Milwaukee Brewers a come-from-behind 4-3 walk-off win over the Oakland A’s on Miller Park.

The Brewers trailed 3-0 early.  Kyle Lohse, who gave up four home runs in his previous start, served up a pair to Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes.

Lohse, despite tweaking his hamstring, made it through six innings, once again getting little to no offensive support.  Lohse had tweaked his hamstring earlier but didn’t think it was serious so he stayed in and helped save the bullpen.

John Axford worked a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win for the Brewers, who will play for the series win this afternoon at Miller Park.

May 8, 2013 By Bill Scott
