MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers are banking on familiarity breeding success for newly acquired infielder Neil Walker after a Saturday night trade returned Walker to his roots in the National League Central.
Walker delivered singles in his first two at-bats of Sunday's 7-4 win over the Reds at Miller Park, continuing an emergence from a quiet period at the plate following Walker's six-week stint on the disabled list for a partially torn left hamstring.
Next up, Walker's most familiar team of all: the Pirates, for whom the Pittsburgh native and former first-round Draft pick played his first seven Major League seasons.
