Rockies pitchers are perfect for last seven and two-thirds innings

Box Score

The Milwaukee Brewers took an early lead today in their rubber match with the lowly Colorado Rockies, but after Isaac Collins electrified an enormous home crowd with his first career hit in the second inning, the Brewers’ offense packed it in. They were done for the day, as Rockies starter Kyle Freeland and three relievers were perfect for the rest of the game. Milwaukee, on the...

Brewers look to take series behind Freddy Peralta

Having split the first two games of this series, the Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies will determine a series winner this afternoon at American Family Field. The Rockies took a low-scoring affair on Friday in a 3-2 win, and the Brewers bounced back last night with a 5-2 victory behind an excellent performance from Tobias Myers and home runs from Willy Adames, Gary Sánchez, and William...

Milwaukee boasts one of the best offensive/defensive combos in franchise history, and they’ve held their own against tough opponents all season

Heading into Sunday’s series finale with the Rockies, I looked into how this Milwaukee Brewers squad stacks up with the franchise’s other contenders over the years.

What I found surprised me.

Let’s start with the offense. Of the 56 teams in franchise history, the 2024 Brewers rank 11th in runs/game on...

Brewers, Rockies seek to conclude family-reunion series with a win

The Milwaukee Brewers have yet to lose four games in a row this season, thanks to a solid win Saturday night against the visiting Colorado Rockies. And now, Milwaukee has a chance to get a series victory Sunday afternoon in the conclusion of the season series with the Rockies.

Homers from Adames, Sánchez, and Contreras power offense

Box Score

The Milwaukee Brewers came into tonight’s game with the Colorado Rockies on a mini-skid. They’d lost three in a row, tying a season-long streak, with two of those losses coming in tough extra-inning games. But you’ll hear baseball people talk about how an ace is the guy you can turn to to stop a slide, and tonight the Brewers got an ace-like outing from the guy who has been their best...

Can Brewers kickstart their offense?

The Milwaukee Brewers were unable to get their offense going last night in a series-opening loss to the lowly Colorado Rockies. Frankie Montas, who had nine strikeouts through five no-hit innings, deserved a better fate: a Michael Toglia three-run homer in the sixth (after a fly ball that Jackson Chourio maybe should have caught) quickly flipped Montas’s evening. That was all the Rockies mustered for the whole game,...

Montas struck out 10 batters, but a three-run shot changed the game

Box Score

In a surprise pitcher’s duel, Frankie Montas dominated the Rockies lineup for much of the night. The only caveat? A three-run home run that put the Brewers behind in 3-1 deficit.

The final line for Montas looked solid. A six-inning outing with three runs still counts as a quality start, but after tallying double-digit strikeouts for the first time...

Brewers look to rebound for second series of homestand

After a disappointing series against the Cardinals, the Brewers will look for a bounce back against the Colorado Rockies.

In the first game of the series, Frankie Montas takes to the mound looking for a new spark of his own. His past two starts, both against sub-.500 teams, went six innings while allowing four runs. Montas’ walk rate hasn’t come down much since joining the Brewers, but his home run...

After timely day off, Brewers begin series vs. Rockies

A day off came at a good time for the Milwaukee Brewers, who ventured into extra innings in three of their past four games. Presumably refreshed despite losing all three of those contests, the Brewers (81-59) bid to get back on track Friday when they play the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies (52-89).

Brewers look to capitalize in one of their last “easy” series of the season

As the Milwaukee Brewers start their stretch run and look to lock up the National League Central (and compete for one of the top two seeds in the NL), they do not have many weak opponents remaining: of their seven remaining series, four are against teams currently in or within a half-game of playoff positions, and one is against a team (the Giants) that has hovered around .500...

Hanish talks about the film, which premieres next week

If you’ve been paying attention to Brewers broadcasts recently, you may remember some discussion about an upcoming documentary, ”Just a Bit Outside: The Story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers.” My interest was especially piqued when Robin Yount discussed the film at length when he was in the booth for his 50th-anniversary game a few weeks ago.

The film, which has its premiere next week on Wednesday, Sept. 11 in...

A dramatic late comeback was undone by a failure to score in extra innings

Box Score

Having split their games on Monday and Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals needed to decide a series winner tonight at American Family Field. After Brewers starter Colin Rea got off to a shaky start, it looked like it might be a high-scoring affair, but after that first inning, the game settled in as a pitcher’s duel between Rea (and later DL Hall) and Cardinals...

Brewers and Cardinals face off in rubber match

The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals meet tonight to determine a winner in this late-season three-game series. The Brewers took the opener comfortably on Monday, but they were unable to complete a comeback victory on Tuesday night when they lost in a now rare 12-inning contest.

The thing that both games had in common was the offensive prowess of Jackson Chourio, who has quickly inserted himself firmly...

Chourio, Ortiz homer but Crew falls short in extras

Box Score

The Milwaukee Brewers dropped the second game of their three-game set with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night, losing 7-4 in extra innings in what was a closely-fought battle for most of the game.

Things got off to a quick start for the Cardinals as Masyn Winn doubled off Aaron Civale and moved up on a pair of flyouts, scoring a run on what was a closer-than-expected play at the plate as Blake...
