Brewers 15, Palms 3 — Sunday, May 17, 2020

 MIAMI — Sunday’s matinee at Coca-Cola Palms Park looked like a chance to carry momentum into the off day. Instead, the Brewers emptied the tank and sent Miami into its break with plenty to think about.

Milwaukee battered Erick Fedde and the bullpen for 20 hits and 15 runs in a 15–3 rout, handing the Palms their worst loss of the season and their fifth in seven games.

“Sometimes you just tip your cap and move on,” said manager Scott Hatteberg afterward, his tone even but weary. “They were on everything. We’ll regroup tomorrow.”

Fedde (2–3) never found his footing, giving up eight runs in just over three innings. The Brewers jumped out early with four in the first — capped by Justin Smoak’s three-run homer — and never let up. Smoak went deep twice, Ryan Braun added a three run shot, and Christian Yelich piled on with a long drive to right in the seventh.

For Miami, Yairo Muñoz was one of the few bright spots, tripling and homering to drive in two of the Palms’ three runs. Brock Holt added an RBI single, while Frank Sohn and Pat Grant each doubled.

“Yairo’s been locked in for a while now,” Hatteberg said. “He’s playing with confidence — we’ll need that spark when we get healthy again.”

Adrian Houser earned the win for Milwaukee, striking out six over seven innings of steady work.

The off day Monday could not come at a better time for Miami, whose rotation and bullpen both looked gassed after a long stretch without an off day.

“Flush it,” catcher Wellington Castillo said flatly. “Come back Tuesday, play our game, and get this thing rolling again.”

The Palms Can’t Just “Patch and Pray” Anymore

  South Florida Sun-Beat Column by Rhys Thomason It’s been said often enough this spring that the Miami Palms have been snakebitten by injuries, and sure, that’s true. Brett Gardner’s hamstring, Jaspero Gonzalez’s wrist, Jarod Lantz’s shoulder — all of them are the kind of setbacks that could sink a team with less depth. But let’s be honest: relying on duct tape and good vibes to paper over holes isn’t a strategy. It’s negligence. Look at the infield. Matt Koch has been pressed into everyday duty at second base, and while he’s played hard, nobody in Coconut Coast camp ever dreamed he’d be logging this many starts in April. He’s a utility man being asked to survive as a keystone anchor. That’s not development, that’s desperation. Then there’s the lineup. Edwin Encarnación keeps finding ways to knock in runs, but where’s the support? Pat Grant’s homer in the Bronx was a bright spot, but there’s a lack of consistent firepower around the middle of the order. The front office’s answe...

Verdugo, Red Sox Pummel Palms in Series Opener

By Vin Castillo, Coca-Cola Palms Park  MIAMI — The Palms got a dose of reality Monday night, and it came in the form of a relentless Boston lineup and an untimely outburst from their veteran catcher. Alex Verdugo went 4-for-4 with three RBIs, and the Red Sox racked up 16 hits en route to a 7-1 win over the Miami Palms at Coca-Cola Palms Park. The loss snapped Miami’s four-game win streak and featured a forgettable debut for newly called-up reliever Allan Persons, who gave up three runs on five hits in a single inning of work. Boston wasted no time, tagging Palms starter Blake Johnston for three runs in the opening frame, thanks to a pair of RBI hits from Xander Bogaerts and Mitch Moreland. Johnston lasted just three innings, surrendering four earned runs, and took his second loss of the season. Miami’s lone highlight came in the bottom of the first when Jaspero Gonzalez drilled a solo home run—his seventh of the year—to cut the early deficit to 3-1. That would be all the offense...
