SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The Milwaukee Brewers will try to win their 10th exhibition game of the spring, when they take on the San Francisco Giants this afternoon in Scottsdale, Arizona.
With Opening Day just 12 days away, the starters are playing longer, with fewer days off. Brewers’ center-fielder Carlos Gomez is due back today, after sitting out yesterday 6-1 Milwaukee victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Gomez, who signed a three-year contract extension last week, is batting .407 this spring with a .543 on-base percentage. Left-hander Chris Narveson starts for the Crew against Giants’ right-hander Ryan Vogelsong. The Brewers are 9-12-1 in this spring’s Cactus League contests. Meanwhile, the Brewers hope to avoid seeing a home plate umpire get hurt. Yesterday, plate umpire Seth Buckminster hurt is left hand after a pitch from Wily Peralta ricocheted off Albert Pujols in the first inning. Tim McClelland ended up calling balls-and-strikes from behind the pitcher’s mound.
