Brewers split squads win two in Arizona

PHOENIX (AP) - PHOENIX (AP) - Jason Hammel continued his strong string of performances in his first spring training with the Rockies, but Brewers prospect Lorenzo Cain homered and Milwaukee's split squad rallied for a 7-6 victory over Colorado on Saturday.

The 27-year-old Hammel struck out three in four innings and allowed two unearned runs, and the Rockies scored four runs in the seventh, including a three-run homer by Matt Miller.

Milwaukee scored two in the seventh and two in the eighth to win it, capped by a two-out, full-count homer by Cain.

Hammel already has a rotation spot locked up with the Rockies, and manager Jim Tracy is excited about his potential after the right-hander went 10-8 with a 4.33 ERA since being acquired in April from Tampa Bay.

Also on Saturday, Adam Stern tripled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox in a split-squad spring training game for both teams Saturday at Camelback Ranch.

The Brewers scored four runs in the eighth inning off White Sox reliever Daniel Cabrera. The former major leaguer with Baltimore and Washington has allowed seven earned runs in three one-inning appearances as a non-roster invitee with Chicago.

White Sox starter Gavin Floyd threw four good innings, his only blemish a solo home run in the third.

Dave Bush matched Floyd's effort. The Brewers righty fanned four and allowed only a run on three hits in four innnigs. One was a comebacker that bruised his right calf, but he stayed in the game.
