And the streak is still alive. The Brewers are now 5-0 in the final games of series following a 20-0 dismantling of the Pirates, completing back-to-back shutouts and outscoring the Bucs 36-1 in the three game series.
On the mound, four Brewer pitchers (Randy Wolf, Claudio Vargas, Manny Parra and Trevor Hoffman) held the Pirates to seven hits and three walks while completing the shutout. Wolf pitched six innings, allowing six hits and three walks and striking out three. Claudio Vargas, Manny Parra (pitching for the fifth time in six games) and Trevor Hoffman each pitched scoreless innings.
At the plate, the Brewers managed four home runs, 12 extra base hits, 25 hits and six walks. All told, six Brewers were on base at least three times:
- Rickie Weeks went 3-for-7 with a pair of doubles and scored four runs.
- Carlos Gomez went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two walks, scoring three runs.
- Ryan Braun went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, a stolen base and a walk, scoring three runs and driving in five.
- Prince Fielder went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season and a walk, driving in three.
- Jim Edmonds went 4-for-6 with a home run and two doubles, scoring twice and driving in three. He needed a triple for the cycle in the ninth, but hit a ground rule double instead.
- George Kottaras went 2-for-4 with a home run and a walk.

How you know this was a good game:
Rickie Weeks went 3-for-7 with a pair of doubles and scored four runs.
LVP: Rickie Weeks (-.062)
captainbok: What do you like the most about milwaukee
Jeff Suppan: Captain Bok, that is a great question. Does "Bok" mean Book of Knowledge? My favorite thing about Milwaukee are the Brewers.
Looks like his leadoff K, his FC in the 3rd, and his fly out in the 4th came in more important (to WPA) situations than his positive contributions. Nothing after the fifth really helped or hurt anyone, and the fact Weeks scored four runs is immaterial – the WPA boost goes to the guy who drove him in.
Failure is just success rounded down.

I love baseball
(on days like this)
Too close for missiles, I’m switching to Ueck.
old shutout record
of 18-0 was against the red sox on april 16, 1990 per mccalvy. i remember watching that, and it was on patriots day. here’s the boxscore. no home runs that day and the sox were limited to 3 hits. terry francona scored for the brewers…
Question inspired by the green hats
Is there a reason that, IIRC, there aren’t any MLB teams that use green as a major color in their uniform? The last I can think of was Seattle.
Rays had a greenish hat as well.

Bucs Dugout commenters mentioned this was the worst shutout loss in Pirates history
Which is 3+ times as long as Brewers history.

i'll bet we under-errored them
but perhaps our errors committed per opposing PA was about the same.

The Earth Day Massacre.
History will never forget.
I'm not arguing, I'm just offering a relentlessly contrarian point of view.
Pirates did their part in conservation
numbers other than Zero on the score board use up so much more energy

Whassup with Hoffman?
Did he throw any changeups? The lack of changeups is a mystery wrapped in a riddle in an enigma.

Don’t you have quizzes to grade?

perhaps
1 left from the LAST quiz round. all from this round are graded though. They didn’t do so well this time :(

and here I thought it was 18-0
The out of town scoreboard at Target Field missed the last two runs (or they hadn’t been scored before the Twins were over, but to be honest the Twins were pretty much over by the end of the 1st)
that Twins game was dire. most of my amusement came from watching Drew Butera attempt to calm down pitchers. It didn’t work.
in any case
that triangle win thingie would say that we should be 3-0 in that series

I can't find anything better
Some three-game stretches (not necessarily one series) were more overwhelming offensively, but the team gave up more runs. The closest I could find was the 1975 Pirates winning three in a row by a combined score of 40-2 from Sept. 15-17. The 2000 Orioles outscored opponents 45-4 from Sept. 28-30.
Failure is just success rounded down.
Yeah, I was looking at stretches with fewer runs allowed
I figure losing by 35 is more soul-crushing if your offense doesn’t show up at all.

It's up there
“The ”http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100422&content_id=9491632&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb" >Brewers outscored the Pirates in the series by a whopping 36-1 margin, matching the largest run differential in a three-game series since the Tigers handled the Twins in a three-game sweep, 45-10, in April 1993."
I think the most remarkable part of today was Gomez walking twice, consecutively

Crap, I left after about 250. Now I’m probably going to go through the rest tonight, but seriously…at least the game had a happy ending!

Thanks, guys.
I’m going to be up most of the night writing, so I needed the pre-emptive pick-me-up. Seeing this was about all it took.

Thanks again job

You need to get your priorities straight.

Were the hottest team in the Central right now!!!

Oh wait…
We share that honor with Houston

If Houston scored 20 runs in a game, I think the universe would collapse in on itself.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
