SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Brewers roughed up Giants starter Jake Peavy, who yielded six runs and nine hits in 1 2/3 innings in Milwaukee's 8-7 victory Thursday at Scottsdale Stadium.
Four of those runs off Peavy came in the first inning, an outburst capped by Chris Carter's two-run homer.

Milwaukee added a pair of runs in the second, which the Giants offset by scoring twice in their half of the inning. San Francisco forged a 6-6 tie in the fifth on Andrew Susac's three-run homer.
"My bat speed is back up," said Susac, whose 2015 season ended prematurely with thumb and wrist injuries. "It's very confidence-boosting for me."

The Brewers' Michael Reed broke the tie in the eighth with a two-run double off Josh Osich. Ty Ross cut the Giants' deficit to 8-7 with an RBI single off Blaine Boyer in the bottom of the eighth.
In his debut with the Giants, Denard Span came off the bench and went 0-for-2 as the designated hitter.

Brewers starter Zach Davies left the game after working a scoreless inning. The right-hander said that he tried to establish his sinking fastball.
"I think I threw maybe threw one change-up," Davies said. "and tried to make sure I could move my sinker to both sides of the plate."
