Tyler Black

Black doubled off of Kumar Rocker in the opening inning but wound up being stranded at third base. He then singled in the third inning and scored as Luis Lara worked a bases-loaded walk. The 25-year-old infielder added to the Brewers' lead in the fourth inning with a two-run triple that made it a 4-0 ballgame. He has been sizzling at the plate to open the spring, hitting .667 (8-for-12) with a homer, triple, two doubles, eight RBI and three stolen bases in his first four games. He could be an intriguing late-round option for fantasy purposes if the Brewers ever committed to giving him regular playing time.

Box Score If Tyler Black is playing for a roster spot, he s off to a good start this spring. He collected three more hits this afternoon as the Brewers won their third straight game, 5-1 over the Rangers. Black started his day out with a double in the first inning, though the Brewers didn t manage [ ]

He also swiped his third base of the spring. Black has struggled with injuries and hasn't shown much power the last two years, so this is a really good day for him. Still, since he's no longer a third baseman and played mostly left and first base last year, he's going to have a difficult time cracking Milwaukee's roster. He's also going to miss some time while playing for Team Canada in the WBC.

Tyler Black had 6 RBIs as Brewers get 10-0 win over Athletics
