The Packers had their
longest and hottest workout of the season on Wednesday as they get ready for
Saturday’s preseason game at Tennessee.  With Morgan Burnett out with an oblique
injury rookie Ha Ha Clinton-Dix got more reps alongside Micah Hyde with the first
team defense.  The Packers have the day
off today.  Saturday’s game kicks off at
7pm with the pregame set for 5pm on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ.

 

Pablo Sandoval homered and
drove in three as the Giants beat the Brewer 7-4 last night at Miller Park  Yovani Gallardo gave up 9 hits and 4 runs in
just four innings of work.  Carlos Gomez
and Khris Davis both homered in the loss. The series wraps up today as Wily
Peralta takes on Jake Peavy.   Coverage
