  • Picks up first save
    Milner walked one and struck out two batters in one inning Friday. He earned a save against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Milner took the mound with a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning and finished off the contest despite facing a first-and-third threat. It was the 33-year-old's first career MLB save. He's produced a 7:3 K:BB with a 4.15 ERA through 8.2 innings this season,. Milner still appears to be outside the Brewers' main closer committee at this time. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
     
  • Blows save, earns win
    Payamps (1-1) recorded one out and walked one batter Friday. He earned a win over the Cardinals after blowing a save chance.

    Advice: Payamps entered the ninth inning with two runners on in a 1-0 game. After plunking Ivan Herrera to load the bases, he walked Brendan Donovan to let the tying run score. The Brewers would go on to win in the 10th innings, giving Payamps his first win of 2024. He's now sporting a 4.70 ERA with a 6:1 K:BB through 7.2 innings. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Fans 10 in no-decision
    Flaherty allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out 10 during the win over Minnesota.

    Advice: Flaherty was tagged with a two-run shot in the first inning but turned in four shutout frames after that. The Twins later pushed across two unearned runs in the sixth. Flaherty's produced a terrific 30:3 K:BB through 24.1 innings this season. That 11.1 K/9 is currently a career-high and his first time producing a double-digit number in that category since the 2020 campaign. He also set a new season high with 19 whiffs. Flaherty is currently in line to take the mound in Tampa Bay next week. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Collects four hits
    Carpenter went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the Twins.

    Advice: Carpenter doubled and scored in the first inning before knocking three singles throughout the rest of the night. He's now 9-for-21 (.429) with five extra-base hits over his last five contests. This hot stretch has boosted his season slash line to .328/.371/.621 through 62 plate appearances.

  • Blake Perkins doubles twice against Cardinals
    Blake Perkins went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in an extra-inning win over the Cardinals on Friday.

    Advice: Perkins was driven in by William Contreras after both two-baggers. The 27-year-old has been a pleasant surprise for the Brew Crew thus far, as he’s provided offensive value to go with his strong defense as seen in a slash of .341/.400/.537. It’s very hard to believe that what Parkins has done is sustainable, but so far so good. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • William Contreras drives in game-winner in extras
    William Contreras drove in two runs including the game-winner in the 10th to give the Brewers a 2-1 win over the Cardinals on Friday.

    Advice: Contreras gets the better of big bro Willson Contreras on Friday night. The younger Contreras drove in Blake Perkins twice in the victory, and the second was the biggest; an RBI single in the 10th to ultimately give Milwaukee the victory. Contreras is now slashing an outstanding .361/.440/.597 over the first 72 at-bats in 2024. What a pickup he’s been for the Brewers over his first two seasons in Milwaukee.

  • Helsley allows run in 10th to pick up loss
    Ryan Helsley allowed an unearned run in the 10th inning to pick up a loss to the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: The run was unearned because it was the extra-inning runner that ended up scoring. Helsley gave up an RBI single to William Contreras that gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead, and Helsley his second loss of the season. Despite tonight’s disappointing result, the 29-year-old has been a strong fantasy option with seven saves already through the first 19 games. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
     
  • Hoby Milner works scoreless 10th to pick up save
    Hoby Milner fired a scoreless 10th against the Cardinals on Friday to pick up a save.

    Advice: Milner was able to pick up the save in the 10th after Trevor Megill and Joel Payamps both were unable to get the job done. The southpaw has his first save of the year, but it’s worth noting that Abner Uribe was unavailable for this contest, so it’s unlikely he picks up many more. Milner can safely be left on the waiver wire. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
     
  • Freddy Peralta fans seven over six scoreless
    Freddy Peralta struck out seven over six scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Friday in a no-decision.

    Advice: Another impressive outing for Peralta. The 27-year-old didn’t have his best control with just 56-of-100 pitches going for strikes, but he also walked just two while scattering four hits. This is the first scoreless affair for the right-hander in 2024, but he has allowed no more than a run in three-of-four starts while improving his K/BB to 33/4 and lowering his ERA to 1.90. That’ll work. Peralta is back on the bump against the Pirates next week. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
