Brewers aim to halt Cardinals' red-hot ways
The St. Louis Cardinals have given their outstanding rotation the best run support in the NL, though no starter has benefited from that production more than Lance Lynn.
With the right-hander going for his seventh win, the Cardinals look to keep rolling Saturday night at Busch Stadium against a Milwaukee Brewers team they've dominated this season.

Game preview: Cards look to continue feasting on Brewers
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The St. Louis Cardinals have given their outstanding rotation the best run support in the NL, though no starter has benefited from that production more than Lance Lynn.
With the right-hander going for his seventh win, the Cardinals look to keep rolling Saturday night at Busch Stadium against a Milwaukee Brewers team they've dominated this season.

First Pitch: The Pirates Need to Find Some Way to Beat Milwaukee

Today there were 12 articles and updates that went up on the site. That should give you plenty to read. Or at least that’s the excuse I’m using to go with some thoughts for tonight’s First Pitch, rather than a normal article. Hey, I’m tired from driving...
The Brewers Just Stole Another Base…
When the Milwaukee Brewers win games, typically it comes by way of the home run.

Monday’s game was not your typical Brewers-Pirates game, except for perhaps the end result.
Milwaukee stole six bases, hit no home runs and the Pirates committed three...
Pirates drop messy game to Brewers
The Pirates seem to often have trouble with the Milwaukee Brewers. Tonight was no different. The Pirates made 3 errors and only scored 1 run in a 5-1 loss to Marco Estrada and the hated Brewers. AJ Burnett wasn’t his sharpest today. He let the Brewers take a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning with…
Game 38: Brewers 5 Pirates 1
I guess the Pirates owed the universe one after Jonathan Sanchez beat Kris Medlen and Jeanmar Gomez beat Matt Harvey.
Marco Estrada's biggest problem this year has been giving up home runs. The Pirates didn't hit any tonight.
Gah. The Pirates being unable to beat the Brewers is the most annoying thing in sports.
Estrada bounces back with extra heat
Self admittedly, Marco Estrada had one of the worst outings of his career the last time he took the mound.
After an extra two days off with two extra bullpen sessions with Brewers pitching coach Rick Kranitz, Estrada bounced back with his best start of the season. The right-hander allowed just three hits and one run over seven innings to help Milwaukee snap its four-game losing...

Brewers 5, Pirates 1
Marco Estrada allowed three hits over seven innings and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the sloppy Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on Monday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
Norichika Aoki went 3 for 5 with three RBIs and two stolen bases for the Brewers. Jean Segura added three hits and three stolen bases as Milwaukee ran wild against Pittsburgh backup catcher Mike McKenry. The Brewers...
A homestand and an opportunity
After their short trip to New York, the Pirates have seven straight home games against the Brewers and Astros. The Brewers have been awful since we saw them last, dropping nine of their last ten games (counting the loss the Pirates dealt them on their way out of Miller Park). The Astros are a hilariously terrible bumbling excuse of a baseball team. The Pirates should win at least...

The Pirates are back in town to take on the hated Brewers as they start a long homestand against three teams with losing records.
We all know what usually happens when the Bucs take on the Brew Crew, but the good news is that the Brewers are a total mess right now. Since taking two of three from...
Brewers Pitching Ranks Last in NL (But It Could Be Worse)
(Photo: Mike McGinnis/Getty Images North America)
As of this writing, the Brewers pitching staff is last in the league in earned run average, as well as runs allowed. While the bullpen has had its ups and downs, the starting pitching has been remarkably ineffective – with the notable exception of Kyle Lohse. Although he’s cooled down somewhat, Lohse is still the only...
Ask Nash: Trading for Pitching Upgrades

Nash,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
My pitching is a mess right now. I have Cole Hamels, Max Scherzer, Kyle Lohse, Marco Estrada, John Lackey, and a bunch of bums after that. I do have Jered Weaver coming off the DL soon.
My offense is pretty stacked as of right now and as a result, I’m looking to deal an OF for some starting...
Brewers looking to snap five-game losing streak
After a promising start to a nine-game homestand, the Milwaukee Brewers are in the midst of a five-game skid.
The Brewers look to avoid a season-high sixth straight loss as they open a two-game interleague set against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night at Miller Park.
Milwaukee (14-16) held a 22-12 scoring advantage over Pittsburgh to win the first two on the home stretch, but has...

Brewers' Estrada: 'It was a bad outing'
MILWAUKEE Marco Estrada's body language screamed of frustration out on the mound Sunday afternoon. Afterwards, that frustration was mixed with anger as the right-hander's inability to help his team snap its losing streak was eating away at him in the home clubhouse.
Estrada lasted just 3-13 innings, allowing eight earned runs while walking five in Milwaukee's 10-1 loss...

Cardinals complete sweep of Brewers
Jaime Garcia pitched eight innings and Allen Craig drove in four runs to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-1 win over Milwaukee and the franchise's first four-game sweep of the Brewers.
Matt Holliday also homered for the Cardinals, who have won six straight, their most since taking eight in a row from July 11-21, 2010. It was the first time the Cardinals have four in a row...
Estrada, Brewers look to get back on track
The St. Louis Cardinals are finding Miller Park's dimensions very much to their liking.
That doesn't bode well for Milwaukee right-hander Marco Estrada.
The Cardinals will try to continue their power surge and complete a four-game sweep of the Brewers on Sunday.
Jon Jay homered for the first time since April 10 and drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning, while Allen...
Game 27 Preview: Pirates at Brewers
Pirates (15-11) at Brewers (13-11)
8:10 PM–Miller Park, Milwaukee
MLB.com Gameday
TV: ROOT
The Bucs will look to get rid of the Miller Park demons tonight as they take on the Brewers in game two of this series. The recent trend for the Pirates has been losing the first game of a series and coming back to win it, so hopefully that continues. I think even one win in the next two...
Estrada looks to continue dominance of Pittsburgh
Though the Milwaukee Brewers' lengthy winning streak ended in his last start, Marco Estrada certainly could help them extend one against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Coming off an outing in which he hardly deserved his first loss, Estrada tries to continue his mastery of the Pirates and lift the Brewers to a ninth consecutive victory in this NL Central series Tuesday night at Miller...
MLB Game Picks - Tuesday: April 30, 2013
There were too many upsets last night. That is often a fun thing for baseball and proves the old point about any given night. But it is not good for a game picker. I did get one upset pick correct with the Mariners over the Orioles. But the Astros creamed the Yankees. Ubaldo Jimenez pitched a good game, which is an upset in itself. The Mets blew a save and then lost in extra innings...
Two-Start Pitchers, Week 5
There are plenty of great two-start options this week, but let’s look at some that are available in at least 25% of Yahoo! and ESPN leagues. In rotisserie and weekly head-to-head leagues, plugging in pitchers with two solid starts can make a huge impact in every category, especially if one of your studs has a rough outing (or two). I’m looking at you Cliff Lee! Most of the guys...
Brewers look to stretch streak to double digits
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to roll and aren't showing any signs of slowing down.
The slumping San Diego Padres are surely glad to see them leaving town.
Seeking a 10th consecutive win, the Brewers try to sweep the Padres for the first time in 10 seasons Wednesday night.
After winning 7-1 in Monday's series opener, Milwaukee (11-8) jumped all over San Diego starter Clayton...
