GLENDALE—Slowed by a bruised right side, Zack Greinke was erratic in his first spring training start for the Milwaukee Brewers.Greinke needed 40 pitches to get four outs, walking three and allowing one hit Tuesday as the Brewers beat the White Sox 3-1.Acquired from Kansas City in December, Greinke loaded the bases in the first and fell behind 2-1 in the count to Dayan Viciedo, prompting a visit to the mound by pitching coach Rick Kranitz.Greinke got Viciedo to swing and miss at two straight breaking balls to escape trouble, then was removed after walking Brent Lillibridge in the second. Mark Buehrle pitched two perfect innings with one strikeout, needing just 12 pitches in each inning. He threw 15 pitches for strikes.Milwaukee’s Rickie Weeks had an RBI single off Phil Humber in the third inning, and Brandon Boggs hit a two-run single against rookie Chris Sale in the eighth.Alejandro De Aza had an RBI grounder for the Cubs in the ninth.Adam Dunn struggled again as the White Sox designated hitter, striking out, walking and hitting into a double play. On Monday, he walked once and struck out twice Monday.The double-play ball in the fifth would have gone through the middle, had the Brewers not applied an infield shift. Weeks, the second baseman, was right behind the bag when he fielded the ball.What Ozzie Guillen took from the game was a promising day defensively from Viciedo, who made the switch from third base to outfield.
NOTES—Jake Peavy said he felt fine after a 40-pitch bullpen session, despite some fatigue during the final 15 pitches. Peavy is slated to start Friday’s game against the Angels. … Brewers CF Carlos Gomez and 3B Craig Counsell both made exceptional defensive plays in the fourth to prevent a big inning.
