Rowdy Tellez and Pedro Severino led the way with home runs as the Brewers defeated the Cubs 5-3 in Friday afternoon’s Cactus League action.
The two long balls scored three of Milwaukee’s five runs. Tellez began the scoring in the second inning when he lifted a high fly ball—so high that it barely cleared the right field wall—for a home run.
Severino added a two-run shot of his own in the fifth to make it a 3-0 ballgame.
The Brewers would continue to add on in the inning, scoring two more runs on a double by Tyler Black and an RBI single by Christian Yelich.
