Brewers avoid no-hitter, but are shutout by Cardinals 3-0
Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/ Davies pitches well in his return, but the offense goes stagnant The Milwaukee Brewers were nearly no-hit and failed to score a run in the series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis Cardinals starter Daniel Hudson kept the Brewers offense quiet, only allowing four walks in his 6.2 innings and striking out seven. Hudson was lifted after 111 dominant pitches. Giovanny Gallegos replaced him and carried the no hitter to 8.2 innings. With four outs remaining, Yasmani Grandal stepped to the plate. He broke up the no hitter with his 20th double of the...

Report: Brewers sign 1B/OF Tyler Austin to minor league contract
Austin homered against the Brewers at Miller Park earlier this year. | Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports An underwhelming hitter for a 1B/OF, Austin could at least provide some help against left-handed pitching After trading away Jesus Aguilar, the Brewers have been looking for someone who swings a bat right-handed to contribute at first base, particularily against left-handed pitching.

If there’s a bizarre baseball play you’ve never seen before, you’ll probably end up seeing it during a Brewers-Pirates game at PNC Park. The Brewers got good performances from Chase Anderson and Yasmani Grandal on Tuesday night, but it was ultimately an odd -- and pretty much lucky -- play that gave the Brewers the insurance run they needed to hang on to a 4-3 win in Pittsburgh. Ben Gamel was hitting with the bases loaded and the Brewers leading 3-2 in the 8th inning when, as Craig...

Game Thread #113: Milwaukee Brewers (57-55) @ Chicago Cubs (59-51)
Photo by Daniel Shirey/ Adrian Houser (4-4, 3.99 ERA) vs. Yu Darvish (3-5, 4.46 ERA) The Brewers have struggled to get the offense going in the first two games this weekend in Chicago, so Craig Counsell is trying something new with his lineup in this afternoon’s series finale. Prospect Trent Grisham will get the start and leadoff, with the slumping Yasmani Grandal (who at least has still been able to get on base through walks) hits second. Keston Hiura gets a day off while Mike Moustakas returns to second base and Travis Shaw plays third. On the mound, Adrian Houser will try to...
