The Brewers and Giants met this afternoon for a Cactus League contest, one which technically served because the reunion of Willy Adames together with his former Brewers teammates. However on condition that it was a spring coaching street sport for Milwaukee, many of the faces that Adames noticed had been in all probability solely vaguely acquainted.
One face that Adames definitely acknowledged was the Brewers’ beginning pitcher, Freddy Peralta. Peralta, who Pat Murphy not too long ago introduced because the Opening Day starter, made his first official look of the spring. We don’t know precisely how exhausting Peralta was throwing on this sport (MLB’s Gameday didn’t have that data for this one), however the outcomes had been spotty, as he allowed back-to-back homers (the primary of which was a three-run shot) within the first inning to Matt Chapman and Wilmer Flores. Peralta did come again out for the second and threw a 1-2-3 inning, so it wasn’t all dangerous. In any case, Peralta advised reporters after the sport that he felt “actually good…higher than what [he] anticipated” after the sport, and he did strike out three batters, so every part is ok.
Offensively, the Brewers by no means actually bought a lot going on this sport, although a few gamers vying for a beginning spot did have strong afternoons. Within the third inning, Caleb Durbin—enjoying second base at the moment—pulled a solo homer to left off of Giants ace Logan Webb, who was in there for his third inning of labor. One other candidate for that final infield spot, Oliver Dunn, continued his good spring with a leadoff double within the first inning. He’s now 5-for-14 with an OPS over 1.000 in 5 spring video games.
Milwaukee didn’t handle one other run till the highest of the ninth, when a handful of prospects manufactured a run, with Darrien Miller scoring on a sac fly from Luis Lara.
The Brewers did use some notable pitchers past Peralta at the moment, with presumed nearer Trevor Megill getting some work (he allowed a solo dwelling run and struck out one in his inning). Bryan Hudson pitched, too, however had a forgettable day, as he walked three batters and gave up a two-RBI single to LaMonte Wade Jr. with the bases loaded; he couldn’t get out of the inning, and Willy Adames, the primary batter that Hudson’s substitute Nick Merkel confronted, added a pair extra runs to Hudson’s ledger with one other two-RBI single.
Additionally pitching for Milwaukee at the moment had been Chad Patrick (two innings, one run, 4 strikeouts) and Deivi García, who had a very nice outing (two innings, one hit, no walks, three strikeouts).
The Brewers are again at American Household Fields of Phoenix tomorrow after they face the Rangers. Texas will throw mega-prospect Kumar Rocker, whereas Tobias Myers will make his first Cactus League look of the spring for Milwaukee.
