The Milwaukee Brewers took their spring training opener against the San Diego Padres Saturday afternoon, winning 11-7 behind 13 hits, including a two-homer game for Wes Clarke.
The Crew kicked off the game with consecutive singles by Sal Frelick, Jackson Chourio, and Tyler Black. While Frelick was thrown out by Fernando Tatis Jr. after overrunning first, the Brewers had each of their first three batters reach base. Joey Wiemer kept the train going with a walk, loading them up for Blake Perkins.
Perkins then hit into a force out that should have been a double play, but a drop by Pedro Avila on the backend of the play allowed Perkins to reach and two runs to score.
