Milwaukee 21, San Francisco (ss) 2
It wasn't the world's greatest Sping Training debut for Barry Bonds, as he lost a fly ball in the sun and went down swinging at a high pitch so far out of the zone it almost nailed Blue in the mask.
He went 0-for-2 in the Giants' 21-2 loss to a Brewers split squad, disappointing the 7,380 fans who packed Scottsdale Stadium for the Giants' home exhibition opener. A first-pitch ground-out ended the first inning for Bonds and he struck out swinging on four pitches by Milwaukee prospect Yovani Gallardo, a 21-year-old righty who led all minor leaguers with 188 Ks last year.
Matt Cain had a 1-2-3 first inning, then struggled through the second - the day after agreeing to a $9 million, four-year contract. Hernan Iribarren hit a three-run homer and Ryan Braun hit a solo shot, his third long ball in two days after connecting twice in a win over Oakland on Thursday. JD Closser added a two-run bomb, helping Milwaukee finish with 24 hits total. Left fielder Geoff Jenkins got hit in the groin late in the game, always funny, but not serious.
