The Milwaukee Brewers topped the Chicago White Sox 5-2 in spring training action on Friday, February 27th, at American Family Fields. In Phoenix, Luis Rengifo smashed a home run and knocked in two runs to spark the offense, pushing the team's Cactus League winning streak to four straight.
There are now four wins and four losses overall this spring. Pitching stood out too, with newcomer Brandon Sprott making his debut. He worked one in the third innings, allowing three hits and one run while fanning three batters, picking off a runner at first, and touching nearly one hundred miles per hour. Fellow new arm Shane Johan followed with two clean innings, striking out the side in the fourth.
Before first pitch, the Brewers held a moment of silence for Milwaukee native Bruce Froeming, a long-time Major League umpire who passed away February 26th, at age 86. It was a touching tribute to his long career in the game. Christian Yelich is easing back into action and set for his Cactus League debut March 4th against the Cubs. He'll mix in some left field time, as manager Pat Murphy keeps his workload measured to build sharpness.
Looking ahead, Saturday's matchup with the Reds bids farewell to nine players heading off for world baseball classic duty. The Brewers host Great Britain, March 3rd, with more games like Sunday at the Royals, keeping the schedule busy. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible.
