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 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.
