SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Jean Segura had three hits and three RBI, and the Milwaukee Brewers scored seven times in the fifth inning on their way to a 12-0 rout Tuesday night over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Scooter Gennett had two hits and two RBI, while Adam Lind and Elian Herrera each added two hits and an RBI. All good signs for Milwaukee's lineup.
"The last week we've been pretty good," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Hopefully that continues, but you know, offense is down in baseball and it's because the pitching is so good. When you get it, you just enjoy it and hope it lasts a long time."
Michael Blazek pitched four impressive innings, striking out four and walking two in his first start of the spring. He'd been used in relief in his four previous outings.
"Good fastball location, great breaking ball. He's really throwing the ball well," Roenicke said.
Diamondbacks starter Yoan Lopez allowed the first five runs on five hits in three innings. But reliever A.J. Schugel was roughed up for five runs on four hits and two walks in his lone inning of work.
Milwaukee had 13 hits to four for the Diamondbacks. Ender Inciarte's double was one of those, and the Arizona outfielder is batting .419 this spring.
"Our at-bats were not very good," manager Chip Hale said. "Some of the credit has to go to their pitching. There wasn't a whole lot to show."
Next up for Milwaukee, Jimmy Nelson looks to improve on his most recent performance, when he allowed three runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings. He makes his fourth spring training start Wednesday against Oakland in Mesa.
