If yesterday was a power showcase for the Brewers, today’s outing was about piecing together runs. Apart from Manny Piña’s 2-run homer in the first, the Brewers small-balled their way to a 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks across a pre-determined 7 ½ innings. The win brings the Crew to 2-0 in the Cactus League.
The big offensive showings for the Brewers came in the first, fourth, and fifth innings. The 2-run Piña shot scored Billy McKinney, who the Brewers claimed off waivers last September.
A Manny Piña two-run shot and the Brewers have a 2-0 lead!
