The Brewers and Athletics opened their three-game series tonight with a relatively low-scoring affair that made Brewer fans nervous as it began to resemble their disastrous loss last weekend in Phoenix. Starters Freddy Peralta and J.T. Ginn weren’t perfect but they kept the score down before the Brewers got to the As bullpen in the seventh to give themselves some breathing room. It was also a memorable major-league debut for third baseman Caleb Durbin, acquired from the Yankees in the Devin Williams trade in the offseason, as he picked up a hit in his first at-bat and was the center of attention all night.
