MILWAUKEE -- He's barely 22 years old, after all, so it was perfectly appropriate for Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia to dedicate his first Major League home run to his mother and father.
Lilibeth and Oswaldo Arcia were home in Venezuela on Friday, but a text message from mom confirmed they had been watching when Orlando connected for a sixth-inning, 408-foot, three-run home run that represented the Brewers' only offense in a 5-3 loss to the Pirates at Miller Park.
"Very happy, very happy to be able to get one," said Arcia through translator Carlos Brizuela.
