Both offenses looked ready to play in the first inning of this afternoon’s spring training outing between the Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies, but after an exciting first inning, both offenses fell into a rut and the game turned into a slog. Ultimately the Rockies took advantage of poor Milwaukee pitching and the Brewers, playing mostly third- and fourth-stringers, struggled to match up with the major league talent that the Rockies put on the mound.
Milwaukee made some loud contact in the top of the first inning. Caleb Durbin led off with a fly ball deep down the right field line off of Colorado starter Kyle Freeland, but it was caught on the warning track.
