MILWAUKEE (AP) — No one could find Erik Kratz shortly after the Milwaukee Brewers routed the New York Mets. Such is the life of a journeyman catcher.
Kratz finally turned up in the batting cages in the service level of Miller Park. His three kids were exploring their dad’s new digs. During the 17-6 victory, it was Kratz who sure looked as though he was having all the fun.
The 37-year-old Kratz homered in his Milwaukee debut and Jesus Aguilar also hit a home run as the NL Central-leading Brewers won for the eighth time in their last 10 games.
