Lucroy hits first HR in Braun's big spring debut

PHOENIX -- Ryan Braun delivered an RBI single in his first at-bat of the spring, Jonathan Lucroy homered and Matt Garza pitched four scoreless innings in the Brewers' 5-2 win over the White Sox on Wednesday at Maryvale Baseball Park.

Garza was displeased with his three walks, but he surrendered only two hits and induced a pair of double plays in a mostly low-stress start. He pitched with a lead thanks to Braun's first-inning RBI single off Chicago starter Carlos Rodon.

Lucroy's first spring home run extended the lead in the third inning before Braun walked and scored from first base on Chris Carter's double to the left-center-field gap.
