The Milwaukee Brewers came into today’s Cactus League action against the Oakland A’s undefeated. In each game, the Brew Crew scored seven runs. With Christian Yelich, Keston Hiura, Avisail Garcia, Travis Shaw, and Kolton Wong in the lineup, you would think Milwaukee would have another nice offensive day.
Alas the A’s kept the Brewers’ bats quiet in this one as Oakland won 2-1. The A’s took the lead early. They got on the board in the top of the first via a trio of unforced errors by Josh Lindblom. Tony Kemp led the game off with a single to right field, and what followed was rust, jitters, the result of being an unexpected starter, or something.
