MLB: Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres

Pablo Reyes belted a three-run homer in the fourth inning to help the Milwaukee Brewers record an 8-5 eight-inning victory over the host San Diego Padres on Wednesday at Peoria, Ariz.

Padres left-hander Blake Snell made his spring debut for his new team, striking out one and walking one during a 15-pitch inning. The 2018 American League Cy Young Award winner was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the offseason.

“It’s definitely weird. I’m not gonna lie, but it’s a good weird,” Snell said of his new surroundings. “I like my teammates a lot. I got comfortable here a lot quicker than I thought I would. It’s just a really cool place to be.”

Reyes’ blast gave the Brewers a 4-0 lead before San Diego recovered to tie the score at 5 on Gosuke Katoh’s three-run homer in the seventh inning. Milwaukee’s Garrett Mitchell hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth and the Brewers added runs on a wild pitch and sacrifice fly.
