Talk about it

MILWAUKEE - After picking up Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson in the off-season, the Los Angeles Angels made another big trade with Milwaukee Friday, acquiring Zack Greinke for rookie shortstop Jean Segura and two minor league pitchers.

The Brewers will get Double-A right handers Ariel Pena and Johnny Hellweg – both considered among the Angels top minor-league prospects. Greinke was scheduled to start tomorrow for Milwaukee. Now, he may start for the Angels the same day against Tampa Bay. Segura was considered one of the best prospects in the Angels’ system. He was called up last Tuesday. Hellweg and Pena had been with Arkansas in the Texas League. They will head to Double-A Huntsville.

Rookie Mike Fiers retired 14 of the first 17 batters and didn’t allow a hit until the fourth. The Brewer right hander picked up his fourth win as Milwaukee blanked the Washington Nationals 6-0. Fiers surrendered only four hits in six and a third innings, while striking out nine. Home runs by Corey Hart and Aramis Ramirez provided all the runs Fiers needed. Ross Detwiler absorbed the loss for the Nationals.
