In split-squad action today, the Milwaukee Brewers got a pair of shutouts against the Angels and Athletics. That was the good news: the bad news was that Tobias Myers, who started for Milwaukee in Tempe versus the Angels, had to leave in the second inning of his start with “discomfort” in his left oblique. That news overshadowed an excellent day for Brewer pitchers, including opening-day starter Freddy Peralta.
Both offenses got off to hot starts today. At American Family Field of Phoenix, the Brewers jumped all over Athletics starter Mitch Spence in the second inning. After Joey Ortiz was hit by a pitch with one out, Manuel Margot and Jorge Alfaro hit back-to-back doubles, the second of which scored two runs.
