Brewers bash their way to another win, 11-5 over Orioles in 6th straight game with at least 7 runs

BALTIMORE (AP) — Jake Bauers hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the fourth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers slugged their way to another victory, 11-5 over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

The Brewers have scored 58 runs in their last six games, with at least seven in each of them. That streak ties a franchise record set in 1982 and 1989.

“We had great at-bats,” manager Pat Murphy said. “Guys are setting the bar pretty high.”

Milwaukee spotted the Orioles a 4-1 lead in the second inning but didn't stay down for long on a day when the wind at Camden Yards seemed to suit the hitters better than the pitchers. Rhys Hoskins also went deep for the Brewers, and Ryan Mountcastle, Jordan Westburg and Adley Rutschman homered for Baltimore.

Elvis Peguero (3-0) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings, the first of five relievers who kept the Orioles off the scoreboard.

Dean Kremer (0-1) allowed six earned runs and 10 hits in four innings.

Milwaukee starter DL Hall permitted five runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. Hall was part of the offseason trade that sent ace right-hander Corbin Burnes from the Brewers to Baltimore.

Hall said his fastball isn't where he wants it to be as he transitions to the rotation. He was primarily a reliever for the Orioles when he pitched for them the past two seasons.

“It's definitely a little bit tougher pitching without my normal fastball that I'm used to,” Hall said. “It's a lot different style of pitching. It's pretty mentally tough on me to not have that.”

Mountcastle's solo homer opened the scoring in the first for the Orioles, and Westburg added a two-run shot later that inning. Hoskins led off the second with a homer, but Gunnar Henderson answered with an RBI single in the bottom half to make it 4-1.

The Brewers scored three runs in the third without needing a homer. An error by second baseman Jorge Mateo followed by a couple of singles loaded the bases. Bauers brought home a run with a soft groundout, then Hoskins hit an RBI single, with a second run coming home on left fielder Austin Hays' error to tie it at 4.

Rutschman's drive to center put the Orioles up 5-4, but William Contreras tied it with an RBI single in the fourth. Bauers' first homer of the season put Milwaukee ahead to stay.

Sal Frelick added an RBI single in the eighth, and Willy Adames followed with a two-run double. That was the sixth time in the first two games of the series that the Brewers scored at least three runs in an inning. They beat the Orioles 11-1 on Friday night.

Milwaukee went 6 for 10 with runners in scoring position Saturday and is 33 for 69 (.478) over the last six games.

Prized rookie Jackson Holliday was given the day off after going hitless in his first three games for the Orioles.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Brewers: OF Christian Yelich (back) did not play after leaving Friday's game early. Murphy said Yelich is unlikely to play Sunday, either. ... Milwaukee sent RHP Trevor Megill (concussion) to Triple-A Nashville on a rehab assignment.

Bucks fall at Oklahoma City, now in a tie with New York for No. 2 seed

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 23 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the injury-depleted Milwaukee Bucks 125-107 on Friday night to boost their hopes of taking the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

The Thunder entered the night trailing the Denver Nuggets by one game and tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the conference standings with two games remaining. Denver lost to San Antonio on Friday while Minnesota beat Atlanta leaving the three teams tied for the conference lead with a game remaining.

Thunder coach Mark Daignealt wasn't concerned about other results in the race for homecourt advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.

“I don’t have much of a reaction," he said. "We’ve got to run to the finish line.”

The Thunder have increased their win total by 16 games two straight years under Daigneault.

“I think the big exponential jumps come from small incremental steps," Daigneault said. "I talk all the time about stacking and we really are trying to live that out. We just try to have a good day in the day that’s in front of us and have a good possession in the possession that’s in front of us, good game in the game that’s in front of us and just be very present in the process of improving and in the process of competing.”

The Bucks played Friday without All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. They already had announced Wednesday that Antetokounmpo would miss the rest of the regular season with a strained left calf. Lillard was out with a sore left adductor. Milwaukee fell to 4-4 in games without Antetokounmpo this season.

The Bucks could have clinched the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a win. They still can clinch the No. 2 seed with a win at Orlando on Sunday or a New York Knicks home loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game that he was more concerned with health than the standings. They could finish anywhere between second and fourth. He said the advantage of being seeded third or fourth would be that they wouldn't have to wait out the Play-In Tournament to know their next opponent.

And by having a top-four seed, he knows at least one advantage the Bucks will have in the next round.

“The good news is, no matter what, we’ll be at home for Game 1,” he said. “That we do know."

Chet Holmgren had 22 points and nine rebounds and Aaron Wiggins scored 19 points for the Thunder, who have won four straight. Oklahoma City shot 52.8% from the field.

Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez each scored 18 points for Milwaukee.

Oklahoma City led 69-52 at halftime behind 16 points from Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder shot 55.3% from the field and made 12 of 13 free throws before the break.

Oklahoma City maintained control in the third quarter and led 95-81 heading into the fourth.

Brewers rout Orioles 11-1. Benches and bullpens clear in the sixth inning

BALTIMORE (AP) — Freddy Peralta struck out 11 in six outstanding innings, and the Milwaukee Brewers hit three home runs in an 11-1 rout of the Baltimore Orioles that included a bench-clearing incident in the sixth inning Friday night.

Gary Sánchez, Willy Adames and William Contreras went deep for the National League-leading Brewers (9-3), who have scored 47 runs in their last five games. They scored three runs each in the second, fifth and sixth to take the series opener.

Intrigue built for the matchup when Milwaukee traded ace Corbin Burnes to the Orioles for left-hander DL Hall and infielder Joey Oritz just before spring training. Hall pitches Saturday and Burnes takes the mound Sunday.

Ortiz had his first big league three-hit game Friday. That included an RBI triple in the second — shortly after Sánchez opened the scoring with a two-run homer — and a run-scoring single in the ninth.

The other big draw of this series was the “Jackson vs. Jackson” matchup of two top prospects. That didn't amount to much in Friday's opener. Baltimore's Jackson Holliday, the game's top-ranked prospect by MLB Pipeline, struck out in all three of his plate appearances. Milwaukee's Jackson Chourio, ranked No. 2, went 0 for 6 with three strikeouts of his own.

Holliday was making his home debut for the Orioles, with a crowd of 32,205 on hand. Fans gave him a standing ovation before each at-bat — and many remained standing while he was at the plate — but the infielder is struggling at the start of his career. He's 0 for 11 with seven strikeouts in three games.

Benches and bullpens cleared — although no real fighting took place — after Orioles catcher James McCann came face to face with Adames as he came to bat in the sixth. It wasn't immediately clear what the dispute was about.

Peralta (2-0) allowed five hits, including Colton Cowser's solo homer in the fourth. He did not walk a batter.

Tyler Wells (0-2) yielded four runs and six hits in four innings.

Adames' three-run homer off Jonathan Heasley in the fifth made it 7-1. Contreras hit a two-run shot the following inning, two batters before Adames came up and a scuffle nearly ensued.

Baltimore's Jorge Mateo made a catch while slamming into the wall in center field in the ninth on a drive by Rhys Hoskins.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Brewers: OF Christian Yelich singled in the first inning, then exited the game in the second with low back discomfort.

UP NEXT

Hall (0-1) takes the mound against his former team Saturday. Dean Kremer (0-0) starts for the Orioles.

Yelich, Perkins homer, Miley returns strong from injured list as Brewers pound Reds 7-2

CINCINNATI (AP) — Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer and Wade Miley came off the injury list to pitch four innings of one-hit ball to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds in a steady rain on Wednesday night.

The 37-year-old Miley started the season on in the injury list because of pain in his throwing shoulder. He was activated before the game Wednesday and got the nod because so many of Milwaukee's top pitchers are ailing.

Miley, who threw a no-hitter when he was with the Reds in 2021, was limited to 52 pitches and allowed just a run and a hit. Bryse Wilson (1-0) pitched the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to get win.

Blake Perkins also homered for the Brewers. William Conteras singled home two as part of Milwaukee's three-run second inning, and Jackson Chourio also had two RBIs.

With the two-run shot in the first inning, Yelich has seven RBIs in the first three games of the series.

Reds starter Hunter Greene (0-1) allowed six earned runs and six hits through six innings. He struck out nine but allowed the homers to Yelich and Perkins.

Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz rocketed a solo homer to left in the fifth inning that came off the bat at 110.4 mph. De La Cruz has hits in 11 of 12 games this season and has reached base in 17 consecutive games dating back to Sept. 26.

The game initially was delayed 1:50 because of heavy rain.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Brewers: RHP Kevin Herget was sent back to Triple-A Nashville to make roster room for Miley. ... Catcher Jefferson Quero, the No. 3 prospect in the Brewers farm system, will have season-ending surgery for a torn labrum. Recovery time is expected to be nine months.

Reds: Returned LHP Sam Moll from a rehab assignment.

UP NEXT

The Reds have a chance to come out with a tie in the four-game series when they send right-hander Nick Martinez (0-0, 7.20 ERA) against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta (1-0, 3.09) on Thursday.


Portis scores 30 points, Bucks beat Magic 117-99 without injured Antetokounmpo

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bobby Portis had 30 points, nine rebounds and a career-high five steals to help the Milwaukee Bucks withstand Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence and beat the Orlando Magic 117-99 on Wednesday night.

The Bucks played a night after Antetokounmpo left a 104-91 victory over the Boston Celtics because of a strained left calf. The Bucks announced Wednesday that the two-time MVP would miss the final three games of the regular season, though his availability for the start of the playoffs remains uncertain.

“No timeline or anything like that, but we’ve got the best team working with him,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said before the game. “There’s no one who’s going to work harder than him. You know that. He’ll be back when he should be back. We’ll find out when that is.”

Damian Lillard had 29 points and eight assists for the Bucks, who improved to 4-3 in games Antetokounmpo has missed this season. Jae Crowder scored 14 points off the bench. Pat Beverley had 13 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Milwaukee (49-31) is 1 1/2 games ahead of New York (47-32) and two games ahead of Cleveland (47-33) in the race for the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 playoff seed behind the Boston Celtics, who already have clinched the NBA’s best regular-season record.

The Magic (46-34) have lost two straight and three of four as they try to earn one of the Eastern Conference’s top six seeds and avoid falling into a play-in situation. Orlando is chasing its first playoff berth since 2020 and only its third since 2012.

Orlando visits Philadelphia on Friday and hosts Milwaukee on Sunday in its final two regular-season games.

Cole Anthony scored 23 points, Paolo Banchero 20 and Jalen Suggs 18 for the Magic. Orlando's Franz Wagner missed a second straight game with a sprained right ankle.

The Magic scored the first five points of the game, but the Bucks answered with a 7-0 run. Although the Magic tied the game a couple of times in the next 2 1/2 minutes, they never led again.

Portis had 24 points and four steals in the first half alone to help the Bucks grab a 64-50 lead at the break. In the first 1 1/2 quarters of the game, Orlando committed 10 turnovers and the Bucks outscored the Magic 16-0 in points off turnovers.

The Bucks maintained a double-digit lead throughout the second half.

Bucks reserve guard A.J. Green played 15 minutes before exiting with a sprained left ankle.

Christian Yelich drives in 3 runs as the Brewers beat the Reds 9-5

CINCINNATI (AP) — Christian Yelich and Blake Perkins each drove in three runs, helping Joe Ross and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-5 on Tuesday night.

Perkins and Sal Frelick each had three of Milwaukee's 13 hits. Jake Bauers had two RBIs.

Ross (1-0) earned his first big league win since June 29, 2021, for Washington against Tampa Bay. The 30-year-old right-hander allowed three runs, two earned, and five hits in 6 1/3 innings in his second start of the season.

Ross had his second Tommy John surgery in June 2022. He finalized a $1.75 million, one-year contract with the Brewers in December.

Tyler Stephenson had two hits and two RBIs for Cincinnati, which beat Milwaukee 10-8 on Monday night in the opener of the four-game series. Spencer Steer, Jake Fraley and Christian Encarnacion-Strand also had two hits apiece.

Reds starter Frankie Montas (2-1) went five innings, allowing three earned runs and six hits.

Yelich hit an RBI single in Milwaukee’s three-run third inning. He also had a two-run double in the fifth.

Perkins’ two-run single put the Brewers in front in the third. He singled in Frelick in the sixth to lift Milwaukee to a 6-1 lead.

Cincinnati closed to 9-3 on Stephenson’s two-run double in the seventh. Steer doubled in Fraley during a two-run eighth.

The Reds put two runners on in the ninth, but Abner Uribe struck out Will Benson, Encarnacion-Strand and Jeimer Candelario to end the game.

WORTH NOTING

Milwaukee pitcher Aaron Ashby, who struggled in the series opener, was optioned to Triple-A Nashville, and right-hander Kevin Herget was promoted.

Brunson scores 43 as Knicks rally in 2nd half to beat slumping Bucks 122-109

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jalen Brunson had trouble explaining just why he's always so productive against the Milwaukee Bucks.

It's about the only time the New York Knicks guard struggled Sunday on a night when he flustered the Bucks once again.

Brunson scored 43 points and the Knicks surged in the second half to win 122-109 and hand the Bucks their fourth consecutive loss. Brunson is averaging 37.2 points in five games against the Bucks this season.

“I don't know,” Brunson said. “The ball goes through the hoop against them. I'm averaging 37, but we're 2-3 (against the Bucks). Before tonight, we were 1-3. So no matter what the points was, we weren't getting wins. Obviously tonight we found a way to win the game. Their game plan was working for the first three of four games.”

Brunson's ninth 40-point game of the season put him in sole possession of third place on the Knicks' single-season list. Bernard King had a team-record 13 games with 40 or more in 1984-85.

The Bucks are facing their longest losing streak of the season and also have dropped six of their last seven. Milwaukee is a game ahead of the Knicks and Orlando Magic in the race for the Eastern Conference's No. 2 playoff seed behind the Boston Celtics.

At least this loss came to a team with a winning record. The Bucks' current slide started with losses to the Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors, who are all well below .500.

“We’re not a losing team,” Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo said. "We don’t have that mentality. That’s not in us. ... This is not what we do. We’ve got to be better.”

Antetokounmpo had 28 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists in his return to action after missing the Bucks’ 117-111 loss to the Raptors on Friday due to an issue with his left hamstring. This marked just the fourth time in the last 29 games that the Bucks’ top three players – Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton – were all available.

But they wouldn’t all make it to the end of the game. Middleton got hit in the face midway through the second quarter and didn’t play the rest of the night.

Middleton fell to the floor after New York’s Donte DiVincenzo inadvertently hit him in the face. As Middleton was lying on his stomach, Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein fell after hitting a shot and landed on the Bucks forward’s back.

The three-time All-Star headed to the locker room with blood coming from his mouth. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Middleton got a tooth knocked out and was visiting a dentist after the game.

“You just feel bad for him,” Rivers said. “The guy can't catch a break.”

Without Middleton on the floor, Brunson and the Knicks rallied. He also had eight assists and six rebounds.

DiVincenzo scored 26 points and Hartenstein added 18 points and 10 rebounds. Josh Hart had seven points, nine rebounds and nine assists.

Bobby Portis scored 24 points and Lillard had 23 for the Bucks.

After trailing 61-50 at halftime, the Knicks surged in front by outscoring the Bucks 20-6 over the first six minutes of the third quarter.

DiVincenzo hit two free throws with 6:58 left in the third to put the Knicks ahead for the first time since they had a 6-5 advantage less than four minutes into the game.

The Knicks wouldn't trail again.

“This team is too talented, in my opinion, to go through this,” Rivers said. “No matter who’s been in and out, every team has guys out. And so I’ve got to figure that out.”


William Contreras hits 2 home runs, Willy Adames also homers as Brewers beat Mariners 12-4

MILWAUKEE (AP) — William Contreras hit two home runs, Willy Adames also homered and the Milwaukee Brewers pounded the Seattle Mariners 12-4 on Sunday.

Contreras finished with four hits and five RBIs. He hit his first homer off Seattle starter Emerson Hancock (1-1) in the second inning and connected on his second two-run shot off third baseman Josh Rojas, who pitched the eighth.

“A day like today is what I kind of work for,” Contreras said through an interpreter. “A day like today kind of shows the type of hitter I am.”

Contreras, who is batting .387 with an OPS of 1.121, made a believer out of Mariners manager Scott Servais.

“The catcher had an awesome series," Servais said of Contreras. “Really impressive player. We didn't do hardly anything to control him at all.”

The Brewers had 14 hits. Colin Rea (2-0) went six innings and allowed seven hits, including RBI singles by Jorge Polanco and Rojas.

“He's a complete player,” Rea said of Contreras. “I'm glad he's on our side. Me and him mesh really well together. I don't think I shook him off at all today."

Rea pitched with a stomach virus, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said.

Adames’ home run off the left-field foul pole highlighted a four-run fourth inning and chased Hancock, a 24-year-old right hander making his fifth-career major league start.

Hancock allowed eight runs on 11 hits with six strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings.

Oliver Dunn and Jake Bauers each had two hits with an RBI and two runs scored for Milwaukee. Sal Frelick, who was dropped down to sixth in the batting order for the game, responded with two hits and two RBIs.

Reliever Collin Snider took a shot off the knee cap by Frelick in the fourth. He fell flat on the mound as Servais and the Mariners’ training staff raced from the dugout. Snider eventually threw a warm-up pitch, but then walked off the field. Tayler Saucedo came on in relief.

“It's a contusion,” Servais said. “He got smoked. Give him credit for trying to stay in there. He knew where we were at with the bullpen.”

Servais added that the situation with Snider is undecided at the moment.

Dominic Canzone hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Thyago Vieira, who picked up the save with three innings of relief.

Mariners: RHP Luis Castillo (0-2, 6.75 ERA) opens a three-game road series for Seattle against RHP José Berríos (1-0, 2.25) and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Chourio homers but Brewers fall 5-3 to Seattle

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jorge Polanco and Luis Urías homered, helping Bryce Miller and Seattle beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3 on Saturday night for the Mariners' first road win of the season.

Miller (1-1) struck out seven in seven shutout innings. The right-hander allowed three hits and walked one, bouncing back nicely after he struggled in his first start of the season against the Red Sox.

Miller threw first-pitch strikes to 17 of his 25 batters. He finished with just 78 pitches.

“I was trying to be in better counts and mix pitches better," Miller said. “It’s easier to mix when I’m ahead in the count.”

Manager Scott Servais said Miller was in command of all of his pitches.

“Heck of an outing," Servais said. "With the new weapons he’s got, he just went out there and got ahead all night.”

Milwaukee scored three runs in the eighth on Jackson Chourio's two-run homer and a pinch-hit sacrifice fly by Rhys Hoskins. But Trent Thornton escaped the jam when pinch-hitter Joey Ortiz bounced into a fielder's choice.

Urías hit a leadoff homer in the ninth against one of his former teams, and Andrés Muñoz got three outs for his second save.

“Miller did a great job and we wanted that game. The homer in the last inning felt really good,” Urías said. “The pitchers have been doing a tremendous job but the hitters have been grinding.”

Muñoz retired the side in order a night after he walked four batters in the ninth inning in a 6-5 loss to Milwaukee.

“Something went wrong last night and I wanted to come here and help the team win and make sure that didn't happen again," Muñoz said. “I tried my best to attack the hitters.”

It was the second homer of the season for the 20-year-old Chourio. But the rookie outfielder also struck out twice, including the final out of the game.

“(Miller) pitched great for them,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “I’m not going to criticize our offensive approach. It’s early in the season and we’ve got four guys who are basically rookies in there and some guys who are just getting started.”

The Mariners used five singles to push across three runs in the third inning against DL Hall (0-1). Polanco led off the eighth with his first homer of the season.

Dylan Moore swiped second in the fourth for Seattle. The Brewers were the last team to allow a stolen base this season.

The successful theft came against Gary Sánchez, who made his first start. William Contreras had caught all 54 innings for the Brewers prior to Saturday. He had been the lone catcher in the majors to start each of his team’s games.

Moore walked again in the sixth but was thrown out by Sánchez as he attempted to steal again.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Brewers: LHP Wade Miley (shoulder), who made a rehabilitation appearance with Triple-A Nashville on Friday, could rejoin the rotation on the team’s next road trip to Cincinnati and Baltimore, Murphy said.


Raptors snap 15-game skid and extend slump for Bucks, who lose third straight to sub-.500 team

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Gary Trent Jr. scored 31 points and the Toronto Raptors snapped a 15-game losing streak with a 117-111 victory over the slumping Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.

Milwaukee, playing without the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo, lost for the fifth time in its last six games, with the last three coming against Washington, Memphis and Toronto, who are all well below .500. Antetokounmpo sat out with a left hamstring injury.

Trent was 7 of 15 from 3-point range and helped the Raptors build a 14-point lead in the third quarter before the Bucks mounted a rally. But point guard Damian Lillard fouled out with 1:48 left and Toronto held on to take the season series from Milwaukee, 2-1.

RJ Barrett added 26 points and Immanuel Quickley had 25 for Toronto.

Lillard led the Bucks with 36 points and six assists, while Khris Middleton had 21 points. Middleton drilled a 3-pointer to bring the Bucks within two points with 54.5 seconds left, but he missed a potential go-ahead 3-pointer moments later and the Raptors clinched the victory with four free throws.

Bobby Portis had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee.

The Bucks fell to 15-16 since Doc Rivers took over as coach for Adrian Griffin on Jan. 26.

Milwaukee remains second in the Eastern Conference, leading Cleveland by one game and Orlando and New York by two with five games remaining for each team.

The Bucks host the Knicks on Sunday night and have two games remaining with Orlando, one at home next week and the season finale on the road on April 14.

“I think in this case, you do want the second seed,” Rivers said before the game. “Could Giannis play tonight? Absolutely. You’ve got to make a choice. And our choice is health first and seeding second.”

Rivers said Antetokounmpo went through shootaround on Friday morning and after an evaluation of his sore hamstring it was determined he would sit out. Guard Pat Beverley missed his second straight game with a right ankle injury.

Trent returned for the Raptors after missing two games with back spasms and Ochai Agbaji joined him in the starting lineup after sitting out the previous three with a right hip contusion. Barrett had missed 10 of the previous 11 games.
