July 3, 2008 Manny Parra was robbed of his ninth victory on Thursday afternoon. The rookie left-hander allowed three hits, walked three and struck out four in six scoreless innings. Unfortunately the Brewers bullpen turned a 5-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth into a 6-5 loss, and did it without recording an out. Our View:Parra is now a fixture in mixed formats, and officially the Brewers No. 2 starter behind Ben Sheets. All of the pre-season hype on the Milwaukee southpaw has come to fruition. |
|
June 28, 2008 Manny Parra allowed two hits in seven innings to win his sixth straight game. The left-hander walked four and struck out six helping the the Brewers beat Minnesota 5-1 on Saturday night. Our View:Parra improved his 4.29 ERA to 3.95 in the winning effort. |

June 28, 2008 The Brewers are set to match a strong arm with one of their own, sending RHP Manny Parra to the hill to do battle with the Twins, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Parra is riding a five-game win streak and has his sights set on #6. However, Parra has not pitched well away from Miller Park, posting a mediocre 2-2 record in six starts with a worrisome 7.23 ERA. |
|
June 22, 2008 Manny Parra wasn't at his best on Sunday but it was good enough for him to pick up his fifth straight win for the Brewers. Parra allowed three runs and five hits, but it was the six walks that really jumped out in his pitching line. Our View:Parra is having an amazing run of success given the fact that he has walked at least four batters in three of his five victories. With a 4.74 BB/9 mark on the year, Parra is certainly a boom or bust option from start to start despite the recent run of wins. |
|
June 22, 2008 The Brewers are hoping LHP Manny Parra can keep the good vibes going as he takes the mound against Baltimore in their interleague series finale today, according to the Sports Network. Our View:Parra got off to a bit of a slow start, but he comes in riding a four-game win streak with an ERA of 2.49 over that span. Parra pitched seven shutout innings against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, striking out five and walking four in his first career interleague start. Today will be his first career start against the Orioles. |
|
June 17, 2008 Manny Parra recovered from a poor outing last week with a superb effort Tuesday, as the southpaw tossed seven shutout innings, allowing four hits and four walks while striking out five. Our View:Parra can be inconsistent, but overall he's been terrific over the last month. |
|
June 11, 2008 Manny Parra was far from his best on Wednesday night as he allowed 10 hits and five runs in 5.1 innings, but he held on long enough to let his offense earn him his fifth win of the season. Our View:Parra had allowed just two runs over his last two starts, to it was a bit disheartening to see him fall back so far tonight, though that's what happens when you allow three home runs. |
|
June 4, 2008 Manny Parra tied a career high with eight strikeouts in seven innings, retiring his final 14 batters and the Milwaukee Brewers routed the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-1 on Thursday. Our View:Parra got hit hard in nearly every inning, but the line drives were all right at the Brewers well placed defense. A solid outing for Parra, his second straight, but his LD percentage in the contest was high. |
|
May 20, 2008 Milwaukee LHP Manny Parra took the Brewers to a 7-2 win versus Pittsburgh this evening, and though he failed to go deep in the outing, he was strong and led Milwaukee to the victory. Parra went 5 2/3 innings, failing to surrender a single run on four hits with just one walk and six strikeouts. Our View:This is Parra's first win since April 5th, his first start of the season. It is also the first outing out of four pitched his month in which he failed to surrender a home run. |
|
May 14, 2008 It doesn't happen often, but tonight Milwaukee LHP Manny Parra was the force of reckoning both on the mound and at the plate this evening.

Our View:Parra was also the top hitter on the evening, going 1-for-3 with two RBIs. |
|
April 27, 2008 Manny Parra worked 5.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Fish, giving up two runs on six hits. He walked three and struck out three. Our View:Parra was not the pitcher of record but his effort was an improvement on his 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP coming into the game. |
|

|
April 11, 2008 Manny Parra who dominated the Giants last time out picked up his first loss of the season on Friday as he allowed three runs in four innings for the Brewers. Parra struck out four Mets on the night, but he allowed six hits and a walk, far too many base runners for a four inning outing. |
|
April 5, 2008 Manny Parra was brilliant for five innings on Saturday as he held the Giants without a hit before he eventually allowed three hits and two runs in 5.1 innings. In picking up his first major league victory, Parra stuck out seven batters, and even if the Giants batting order resembles a Triple-A lineup, you still have to be impressed by the way the youngster dominated on this day. |
|
March 26, 2008 Manny Parra has earned the fifth spot in the rotation to open the season. He could be booted back to the minors when Yovani Gallardo returns from knee surgery. "We have another tough decision to make in two weeks, once the season starts," manager Ned Yost tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We're going to have to see who's pitching good during that period, then make another decision." Parra will start against the Giants on April 6. |

March 24, 2008 Manny Parra struggled mightily on Monday allowing five runs and five hits in three innings, this according to the AP. "Manny didn’t throw the ball good," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "There’s not going to be a time, come a week from today, when there’s not going to be pressure. You’ve got to really evaluate the way he’s handling that." Parra has been the darling of the Brewers camp, but with two straight poor outings the team is going to consider all its options in the rotation though the injury to Chris Capuano might be just the opening Parra needs to make the team. |
