It appears that there will be no Cactus Cup this spring for the Brewers, who dropped to 4-7-2 in preseason play after a 10-5 loss to the Angels.
Eric Lauer took the ball first for the Crew. He pitched into the fifth inning but only totaled 3 2⁄3 innings in the box score. Lauer was pulled with two outs in the first for Connor Sadzeck before being reinserted in the second. A walk to Matt Duffy to begin the fifth ended his outing.
It was a “working on stuff” day for Lauer, who surrendered six runs (all earned) on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts.
