 Brewers Win Opener

The Brewers needed extra innings but were able to beat the Colorado Rockies 5-4 in 10 innings on opening day at Miller Park.  Jonathan Lucroy’s sac fly with the bases loaded plated the winning run for the Brewers.  Aramis Ramirez’s two-run double in the 8th capped a three run inning giving Milwaukee the 4-3 lead, but John Axford gave up a solo homer to Dexter Fowler with two out in the 9th to tie the game.  Jim Henderson picked up the win for Milwaukee.  Nori Aoki also homered in the win, while starter Yovani Gallardo wasn’t sharp, giving up 10 hits and 3 runs in 5 innings of work. The series continues tonight as Marco Estrada takes on Jorge De La Rosa.  Coverage begins at 6:35pm on KFIZ.
