Yesterday’s Results

Angels 3, Brewers 2

The Brewers lost in their Cactus League opener yesterday, losing to the Angels 3-2. Kyle Lohse was sharp in his 2 2/3 innings of work, allowing one hit and striking out three. He was also charged with an earned run after Ariel Pena allowed the run to score. Chris Perez and Brandon Kintzler also allowed a single run each (though Kintzler's was unearned).

This Weekend's Action

Three more spring training games are on the schedule for this weekend. All three will be televised and on the radio (Sunday's game will only be on MLB Network and will be tape delayed). Here are the games

Friday: Dodgers @ Brewers - 2:05 pm
Saturday: Rangers @ Brewers - 2:05 pm
Sunday: Brewers @ Dodgers - 3:05 pm

Also, don't forget that Daylight Savings Time begins on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Time in Wisconsin will jump forward an hour, but won't adjust in Arizona, so game times will look like they are starting an hour later.
