After a slow start, the Milwaukee Brewers put together a nice afternoon against the Chicago Cubs today in Mesa. Wade Miley made his first appearance of the Cactus League season, and pitched two very Wade-Miley-y innings: his fastball sat about at about 89 mph, he struck out a couple, and he induced weak contact.
The Brewers didn’t have a hit out of the infield until the fourth inning, when Jake Bauers smoked one off the wall. But he hit it too hard: he was thrown out at second base trying to stretch it into a double. In the bottom of the inning, Jackson Chourio made an excellent catch against the wall in right field:
