SAN DIEGO -- Eric Sogard is making the most of the second chance he's been given after injuries have sidelined some key members of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Sogard had a career-high four hits and drove in a run, and Jimmy Nelson struck out eight in six-plus innings and hit an RBI single to help the Brewers beat the San Diego Padres 6-2 on Tuesday night.
Sogard, a former Padres farmhand, was called up from Triple-A on Friday after Ryan Braun went on the disabled list, and made his first big league appearance since Oct.
