Garrett Mitchell went off for the Milwaukee Brewers, smashing a two-run double and a three-run

homer in the first three innings to drive in five runs, total.

That powered them to a five-two win over the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a double

header.

Chad Patrick earned his first win by tossing five scoreless innings, scattering four hits

and three walks.

In Aaron Ashby, Abner Urbe, and closer Trevor McGill, locked it down, with McGill fanning

Vinnie Pasquantino on a 98-mile per hour.

Fastball to slam the door in the ninth.

Royals fans felt the sting as starter.

Lewender Avala struggled in his first big league start, giving up all five runs on eight

hits and two walks in.

Just over three innings.

Kansas City scratched back with two runs in the seventh, but left runner stranded early

and got cut down at the plate.

This game came after Friday's match-up got wiped out by a storm, 90 minutes before

first pitch, forcing the double headers since Michael Watcha was.

Side line by Illness, Avala got called up from AAA Omaha to fill in.

Brewers' bullpen stays hot, heading into the nightcap, where Brandon's pro faces Seth

Lugo, who's yet to allow a run this season.
