After throwing at Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff, Cubs pitcher Ryan Tepera suspended three games
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports Manager David Ross and associate coach Mike Borzello also were suspended a game each In the six games between the Brewers and Cubs this season, things have been tense. The Brewers have hit six Cubs batters with pitches in the six games they’ve played so far this season. Three of those have hit Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, who has been upset about being hit so much. One of those hit him in the head. This has led to a benches-clearing incident, which Contreras was fined $7,500 for inciting. On Tuesday, it ramped up more as Cubs...

Brewers: Showing Emerging Ace Freddy Peralta Some Love
Brandon Woodruff and Corbin Burnes are elite pitchers. But behind the Brewers fierce two-headed monster, there is another emerging ace in Milwaukee: Freddy Peralta.

Bullpen falters late, Brewers lose to Cubs 3-2
Photo by Stacy Revere/ Brandon Woodruff pitched well, and Luis Urias reached base four times. Box Score After three straight days with some high-powered offense, the offense was due to come down a bit. Unfortunately, it came down a bit too far today. The game didn’t start out well for the Brewers. In the bottom of the first, Lorenzo Cain grounded out but hit first awkward, and was seen limping afterwards. He did stay out in the field for the second inning, but was pulled at the start of the third and replaced with Billy MicKinney. Later on, it was announced that Cain...

Game Thread #6: Milwaukee Brewers (2-3) @ Chicago Cubs (3-2)
Photo by Abbie Parr/ Brandon Woodruff vs. Kyle Hendricks We’ve made it one turn through the rotation, and if the early results are any indication, it could be a major strength for the Brewers going forward. The offense, of course, is a bit of a mixed bag, but the Brewers will hope to build on some of the good things they did last night. It’ll be a tough task, though, against someone who has historically had their number, even when things are going well — Kyle Hendricks. The Brewers will counter with Brandon Woodruff for today’s matinee at Wrigley. Lorenzo Cain...

Brewers: Don’t Worry There’s A Lot of Games Left This Season

Trio of two-run homers power Brewers past Cleveland, 6-3
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports Taylor, Vogelbach, and Garcia go deep in support of Woodruff.

Woody allowed a solo home run to Franmil Reyes to lead off the second inning, and...
