In the Brewers' final exhibition contest, Manny Parra stayed behind in Maryvale to allow seven Brewer relievers and game five starter Dave Bush to get some work in. The Dodgers picked up three runs in the first two innings off of Todd Coffey and David Riske, and led nearly the entire way. Seth McClung, Jorge Julio, Dave Bush, Mark DiFelice, Carlos Villanueva and Wes Littleton all pitched scoreless innings, with Mitch Stetter also allowing a run in his frame.

The Brewers made a game of it in the seventh inning, when Ryan Braun's first spring home run and a two run double from Mike Rivera narrowed the gap to 4-3, and Craig Counsell's RBI single with two outs in the ninth tied it at 4, and Brad Nelson's home run gave the Brewers a 7-4 lead.
