Early on, it looked like we were in for a repeat of yesterday’s slugfest against the Dodgers. Arizona scored three times in the first, on Christian Walker’s fourth home-run of spring, as the Brewers starter failed to get through the first. Milwaukee then threatened to respond in kind: Caleb Smith was tagged for a lead-off homer, then a pair of hits put two men in scoring position with one out. However, both starting pitchers then settled down (the Brewers’ guy came back in the second), and there was no further scoring off either. Smith ended up going 4.1 innings on 73 pitches and five hits, with just that solo shot allowed, one walk and six strikeouts.
Diamondbacks 3, Brewers 9: Score early, score often
