Dinelson Lamet strikes out 14, Padres beat Brewers for first win of road trip

MILWAUKEE —

Seth Mejias-Brean, who exactly two weeks earlier made his major league debut at the age of 28, started at shortstop for the Padres on Wednesday night.

“The last 10 or 12 days here, we’ll get some guys the opportunity to go out and play and see what they’ve got,” manager Andy Green said a few hours before his team’s game against the Brewers.

The Padres have been doing that for months. But this qualified as next level, as Travis Jankowski also made his first start since being called up at the beginning of the month.
