Working on seven days' rest, Marco Estrada held the Pirates to one run and three hits over seven innings to earn his third win Monday.

Estrada had his start pushed back after struggling in his previous two outings, but he was sharp on long rest tonight, walking just one batter. It didn't hurt him that the Brewers chose to have him face the Pirates rather than the Reds over the weekend. Estrada is now 3-2 with a 5.32 ERA overall.

Marco Estrada - S - Brewers

Marco Estrada will have his next start pushed back from Saturday to Monday.

Estrada has been lit up for 13 runs over his last two outings, so the Brewers want to give him a couple extra days of rest. They'll give the ball to Hiram Burgos on Saturday against the Reds, while Estrada will now pitch Monday against the Pirates.

Marco Estrada was lit up for eight earned runs over 3 1/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Cardinals.

The Brewers were swept in four games by the red-hot Redbirds. Estrada allowed six hits and five walks, watching his ERA balloon from 4.58 to 6.05. He gets strikeouts, but the 29-year-old righty is far too ineffective right now to be started in mixed fantasy leagues.

Marco Estrada allowed five runs over five innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Tuesday.

The Brewers won the game, but no thanks to Estrada. The right-hander allowed three home runs on the night, and he's now allowed 10 home runs in 35 1/3 innings on the season. Estrada's strikeout potential makes him a worthwhile play in deep mixed leagues, but the propensity to allow homers is frustrating. His next turn will come Sunday against the Cardinals, another matchup that could cause trouble.

Marco Estrada yielded three runs in six innings Friday in a 5-4 win over the Cubs.

Estrada struck out four and walked two in the win. All three runs scored in the third inning, as he allowed a solo homer by Luis Valbuena and a two-run shot by David DeJesus. He has now served up six home runs in just 24 innings this season. While his fly ball tendencies make him a risk, at least he's stingy with the free passes. Estrada will look to improve his 4.50 ERA with a promising matchup against the Padres in San Diego next week.

Marco Estrada allowed four runs in five innings but took a no-decision in the Brewers' loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Estrada displayed his two primary skills against the Rockies -- an above-average ability to generate strikeouts, and a penchant for allowing home runs. The 29-year-old struck out eight batters in his five innings, but dingers by Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez sabotaged his evening.

Marco Estrada allowed two earned runs over five innings Saturday in a Cactus League loss to the Angels.

Estrada walked three and yielded two hits. He told reporters afterward that he's been sick for the past couple of days and was relatively pleased with the outing. The 29-year-old righty will serve as the Brewers' No. 2 starter this season and should be solid in mixed leagues.

Marco Estrada - S - Brewers

Marco Estrada labored through 2 1/3 innings Monday, giving up a run on three hits and three walks against the Indians.

He struck out one. Estrada has pitched just 9 1/3 Cactus League innings since he was away for the World Baseball Classic, but he's allowed just the one run while striking out eight. He could be undervalued in fantasy leagues heading into 2013.

Marco Estrada threw four shutout innings in his start Sunday against the Cubs.

He allowed just one hit and gave up two walks. It was a nice tune-up outing for Estrada, who will pitch for Team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic next week. Estrada is the only Brewers starter to go at least four innings this spring.

Marco Estrada - S - Brewers

Brewers avoided arbitration with RHP Marco Estrada by agreeing to a one-year, $1.955 million contract.

Estrada was arbitration-eligible for the first time. The right-hander put up a surprising 3.64 ERA and 143/29 K/BB ratio over 138 1/3 innings in 2012 and will pitch in the middle of the Brewers' rotation this season.

Marco Estrada turned in a stellar performance in Saturday night's victory over the Astros, scattering four hits and a walk over eight strong innings.

Estrada racked up 11 strikeouts on the evening, marking the fourth time he's fanned 10 or more in a game this season. The 29-year-old right-hander finishes a very solid season with a 5-7 record, 3.64 ERA and 143/29 K/BB ratio over 138 1/3 innings.

Marco Estrada was charged with seven runs -- six earned -- in four innings Monday in a loss to the Nationals.

Estrada has been one of the game's unluckiest starters this year, so why should that change in late September? The right-hander would have gotten through four having allowed two runs (one earned) today, except Carlos Gomez lost Jayson Werth's fly to center in the sun. What should have been the third out was instead a two-run double, and Ryan Zimmerman followed a little later with a three-run homer to right, making it a 7-1 game.

Marco Estrada fired seven innings of scoreless ball Wednesday in the Brewers' 3-1 win over the Pirates.

The dominance continues for the 29-year-old right-hander. He has a 3.56 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP and a 129/26 K/BB ratio through 126 1/3 innings this season, and is showing no signs of letting up. Estrada will face off against the Nationals next. Milwaukee has suddenly won four straight games.

Marco Estrada tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings Tuesday in the Brewers' 5-0 defeat of the Braves.

Milwaukee is now a .500 baseball team for the first time since late April. Estrada yielded just four hits while fanning six and walking one. He will carry an impressive 3.77 ERA and 1.16 WHIP into his next scheduled outing against the Pirates.
