The D-backs didn’t exactly end the Cactus League the way they wanted to, being pounded 14-4 by the Brewers in Maryvale this afternoon, as their pitchers allowed 17 hits in eight innings of work. Merrill Kelly made his final start of spring, and was tagged for three home-runs in 3.2 innings, leading to six earned runs on five hits and a walk with four K’s. The bulk of the other damage came of Humberto Castellanos, who gave up eight hits, including two more home-runs, and six ER over an inning and two-thirds. Joe Mantiply allowed two runs while recording two outs, and the only full scoreless inning by any Diamondbacks pitcher went to Rio Britton in the ninth.
Diamondbacks 4, Brewers... more than 4 - Next!
