Brewers win Cactus League finale

March 31, 2016 By Bill Scott

Brewers logoOne of the Milwaukee Brewers top prospects made his spring debut, helping the Brewers knock off the Colorado Rockies 5-4 in the Cactus League finale.

Outfielder Brett Phillips started in right field on Wednesday after missing most of spring camp with a strained left oblique muscle.  Phillips preserved a tie game in the eighth inning when he caught a fly ball and threw Colorado’s Tim Smalling out at the plate.

Kirk Niewenhuis drove home the winning run with a single in the ninth, and Scooter Gennett homered for the third time this spring as the Brewers finished 13-13-and-two in Cactus League play.

The Brewers are in Houston to face the Astros in a pair of exhibitions tonight and Friday night.  They’ll play an exhibition Saturday against their Double-A affiliate in Biloxi, Mississippi before returning to Milwaukee to face the San Francisco Giants in the regular season opener on Monday.
