Olmedo hits two-run double in eight-run eighth, Brewers 12, Cubs (ss) 7
PHOENIX (AP) – Ray Olmedo’s two-run double highlighted an eight-run eighth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied for a 12-7 victory over a Chicago Cubs split-squad Wednesday.
The win gave the Brewers a three-game spring sweep of their National League Central Division rival. The Cubs had taken a 6-4 lead in the top of the seventh, using three doubles to produce three runs. Micah Hoffpauirs two-run double was the big hit.
Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo tuned up for his opening day start against Colorado on April 5 by giving up three hits in four shutout innings. First baseman Prince Fielder also appeared ready to go for the regular season, hitting a third-inning grand slam off the large blue batter’s eye in center field.
