Rich Hill struggled through another short outing, and the Milwaukee Brewers cruised to a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Maryvale Baseball Park. For a second consecutive start, Hill failed to complete two innings.
Spotted a 1-0 lead behind Joc Pederson’s leadoff home run, Hill worked around a one-out walk and picked up a strikeout in a scoreless bottom of the first. But the veteran left-hander battled command issues in the second inning, gave up an RBI double, and was removed after walking the bases loaded with two outs.
Layne Somsen allowed a two-run single prior to getting out of the inning, and Hill was ultimately charged with three runs in 1.
