Brewers score7/31/2023 Most of the traffic against Oakland starter JP Sears and the bullpen came early in innings, too Milwaukee put the leadoff man on in four straight innings from the third through the sixth, and had a one-out base runner in three other innings.īut they couldn’t do much with it until it was too late, going just 3 for 19 with runners on base and 2 for 10 with a man in scoring position, until a rally in the ninth. The Brewers weren’t without their chances, generating 10 hits, six walks and reaching twice on a hit by pitch. The team that has been among the worst in baseball at coming back – only the Royals and Cardinals have fewer comeback wins than the Brewers’ 10 – managed a solid rally effort late but it wasn't enough to avoid the sweep to the team that entered the weekend on a 35-win pace for the entire season and has the worst ERA in baseball. The very next hitter, Brent Rooker, crushed a homer to left, marking the ninth long ball given up by Peralta in his last six starts.Īlthough Blake Perkins would get the Brewers to within a run with a two-out run-scoring single in the sixth, that may as well have marked the end of the day for Milwaukee, which has the third-fewest comeback wins in baseball this year. Peralta allowed a leadoff single in the top of the fourth to Ryan Noda, hit Ramon Laureano and then on the 11th pitch of the at-bat Seth Brown launched a fastball out to right for a three-run homer to put Oakland ahead. The Brewers, though, no longer sit in first, however, as a four-game losing streak has dropped them one game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central, a division that someone has to win even if no one seems to want to.Ĭhristian Yelich’s solo home run in the second and Owen Miller’s RBI double in the third gave the Brewers something they hadn’t had all series – a lead – but it quickly went away as Freddy Peralta succumbed to his nemesis of late, the homer ball. In a third discomposing show of baseball in as many days, the Brewers fell, 8-6, to the lowly A's, who looked like anything but in an emphatic weekend-long dismantling of a team that entered in first place. They walked out with a sweep, leaving behind nothing but a battered, humiliated Milwaukee Brewers team. The Brewers closer buckled down to strike out Hayes looking and Jason Delay swinging for a much-needed win.The Oakland Athletics strolled into Milwaukee this weekend with the worst record in baseball. Williams walked Jack Suwinski with one out, then Josh Palacios crushed a double to the wall in left-center to put the tying run on third and go-ahead run in scoring position. The Pirates scored twice against reliever Elvis Peguero in the seventh on a Ke’Bryan Hayes single, but Perkins threw out Josh Palacios at third on the play to help thwart what could have been a bigger rally.ĭevin Williams got back in the saddle after the roughest outing of his career Tuesday in Minnesota and walked another tightrope to pick up the save. Teheran’s ERA through five outings as a Brewer now sits at a paltry 1.78.Īnd this time, although just barely, Milwaukee made good on his excellence. Teheran faced just two over the minimum, striking out three and walking only one while surrendering just one hit, a Carlos Santana solo homer to lead off the second. The Brewers righthander went six innings allowing only two runs, marking the fifth time in as many starts since signing with the team he has gone at least five innings allowing no more than two runs. Julio Teheran, meanwhile, was excellent once again. With two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the first, the Brewers started a rally from scratch with three walks and a catcher’s interference leading to a run, then Blake Perkins came through with a two-run single for a 3-0 lead despite only getting one hit in the inning.Ī William Contreras RBI double in the fourth and Joey Wiemer solo homer in the sixth provided just enough insurance to stave off a rally from the Pirates in the sixth and seventh innings. They hope that doing so over the course of an entire regular season will lead to similar fruition.Ī four-walk first inning against Pirates starter Rich Hill laid the foundation for a nail-biting 5-4 win at American Family Field that snapped a six-game losing streak for the Brewers and vaulted them back into first place at 35-34. The Milwaukee Brewers exercised it to success Friday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates at the plate. In few avenues is patience more of a virtue than in baseball.
