PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Sean Gallagher and Mat Latos are going to make the battle for the fifth spot in the San Diego Padres’ rotation interesting.
Both pitchers allowed a run over three innings Wednesday, and Will Venable hit a three-run homer to help a Padres split squad rally past the Milwaukee Brewers with a 5-4 win.
Yovani Gallardo allowed three runs over three innings for Milwaukee, yielding the first-inning homer to Venable.
Mike Adams pitched a scoreless ninth inning in his first spring training outing since 2006 to earn the save.
