SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Catcher Gregg Zaun kept up his solid spring with a two-run double and Milwaukee beat the San Francisco Giants 10-8 on Sunday. Brewers starter Jeff Suppan gave up four solo home runs. The game was played in front of a second straight sellout crowd of 12,000 at Scottsdale Stadium, including commissioner Bud Selig, a former owner of the Brewers.
Suppan gave up home runs to Aaron Rowand and Aubrey Huff in the first inning, but the Brewers rallied to take a 3-2 lead with three runs in the second. Milwaukee scored four more times in the third, two on Zaun's double. The 38-year-old Zaun, who signed as a free agent Dec. 4, now has eight RBIs, sharing the team lead with shortstop Alcides Escobar. Two more Giants homered off Suppan in the fourth, Fred Lewis and Nate Schierholtz. Steffan Wilson and Joe Inglett also had a pair of RBIs for Milwaukee. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press.

Gomez knows he's going to get every opportunity to succeed in Milwaukee after general manager Doug Melvin dealt popular former All-Star shortstop J.J. Hardy to Minnesota.
Gomez's batting averages with the Twins dwindled from .258 and 33 stolen bases in 2008 to .229 and 14 steals last year as his playing time decreased, but he says he's committed to changing his swing to complement his defensive abilities.
