MILWAUKEE (AP) — Martin Maldonado hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers went deep four times Monday night, spoiling the major league debut of Arizona pitching prospect Braden Shipley in a 7-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Scooter Gennett, Jonathan Villar and pinch-hitter Andy Wilkins also connected for the Brewers in the opener of a four-game series. Chase Anderson went five innings to beat his former team for his first win since June 8.
Maldonado connected for a three-run homer with one out in the sixth, ending Shipley's outing. Wilkins followed with his first career home run — he had been 0 for 9 since getting called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs this month.
