Free Pick: Philadelphia Phillies at Milwaukee Brewers
With the year Parra was having under a one-year contract, freeing up a little cash and bringing in a budding star with potential in Zach Davies while the team’s playoff chances were out the window was the obvious move. When the Phillies hit at least one homer, they have a 29-29 record.
Francisco Rodriguez had some struggles in the ninth and gave up a run, but escaped with his 27th save. He’s a. 341 hitter in 12 meetings with the Brewers, including 7 for 20 in five at Miller Park.
No matter who leads them, Peralta and Segura appear to be big parts of Milwaukee’s future plans. A 14-year-old in a full Brewers uniform then ran onto the field to protest, and it was eventually revealed that he was actually Craig Counsell, the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Peralta worked out of trouble all night, and Philadelphia finished 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position.
“I noticed at about 100 feet, my hand started swelling up”, Blazek told MLB.com. “I feel really strong”.
The Brewers have dropped 16 of their last 22 games and haven’t looked at all like the team that won eight straight from June 28-July 5, including a four-game sweep at Philadelphia. The stumble allowed Segura to score all the way from second. Jonathan Lucroy hit a fly ball to the warning track, where Herrera could be seen calling for it and made the catch before crashing into Brown. Segura was upset, which is interesting, given his historic fandom of complete and utter travesties occurring at second base. In three previous stints with the Brewers this season, Goforth has a 4.15 ERA in 4 1/3 innings out of the bullpen.
The Utley trade watch continues with the 36-year-old on the bench.
Gennett drove in two runs and scored the tie-breaking run on a hit by Jean Segura in the seventh inning.
Morgan allowed just three Brewers to reach base over six innings, but all three scored.
“Days like this happen”, he said.
Blazek was placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to Friday’s 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies with a fracture at the bottom of the fourth metacarpal. Blazek couldn’t pinpoint how he was hurt. Franco has not played since being hit by a pitch in the first inning on Tuesday.
The Brewers had built a 3-0 lead to that point for Peralta, getting to Phils’ rookie starter Adam Morgan for a run in the 2nd inning and a pair in the 3rd.
