BOX SCORE
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) _ Brian Lesher and Devon White hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the eighth inning to snap a tie and give the Milwaukee Brewers a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Carlos Chantres (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh in relief of starter Ben Sheets to earn the victory. Sheets extended his scoreless streak to 12 innings before giving up a run on Rich Aurilia's infield grounder in the fifth. ``Ultimately I'm trying to get ready for the season,'' said Sheets, who has a 2.14 ERA and seems to be pitching his way into the starting rotation. ``I approached this spring with the idea of wanting to earn a spot on this team. I feel like I made progress.'' Calvin Murray homered for the Giants, who lost their third straight. ``He has a live arm,'' Giants manager Dusty Baker said of Sheets. ``He left a couple of curves up, but you can see the potential. His fastball is not straight.'' Jeffrey Hammonds' first homer of the spring gave the Brewers a 1-0 off Kirk Rueter in the second. Ron Belliard added a run-scoring single in the third. Rueter allowed two runs on five hits over five innings. Murray's homer, off Sheets, tied the game in the sixth. Angel Echevarria singled to start the winning rally against Ryan Vogelsong (0-1) in the eighth. Lesher and White followed with their doubles. Jose Hernandez had two hits for the Brewers.
