 Brewers outslug Cubs 9-7

The Milwaukee Brewers scored five runs in the first inning and hung on to beat the Chicago Cubs in exhibition play in Arizona on Tuesday afternoon.

Rhys Hoskins and Jake Bauers both hit their fifth home runs of the spring and Oliver Dunn and Vinny Capra also homered in the game.

After a five-run top of the first inning, Brewer starter Jake Misiorowski allowed four runs on three hits and two walks to the Cubs, who closed the gap to 5-4.

Both teams scored two runs in the third inning, but the Brewers held off the Cubs to earn the win without ever losing the lead.

Misiorowski, one of Milwaukee’s top prospects, picked up his third win of the preseason going just 1.2 innings and striking out four.

Chicago will now head overseas to Japan for a couple of exhibition games before facing the Los Angeles Dodgers to open the regular season on March 18 at the Toyko Dome.

The Brewers are off Wednesday and will battle the Chicago White Sox Thursday at 3:05 p.m. in Cactus League play.
