PHOENIX -- A 4-3 walk-off win over the A's on Wednesday should have been cause for celebration. Instead, the Brewers were lamenting a pair of pitching injuries with Opening Day eight days away.
Rotation hopeful Wade Miley, making his final start before an "out" date in his Minor League contract, was forced from his outing against the A's with a left groin strain and sent for an MRI scan. Two innings later, reliever Boone Logan left the game complaining of discomfort at the back of his left shoulder.
"It's an unfortunate day," said manager Craig Counsell, whose day was only half over, since another Brewers split-squad was about to hit the road for a night game against the Mariners in Peoria, Ariz.
