Norris, Upton Jr. homer in 12th, Padres beat Brewers 8-7

Junior Guerra is making a strong case for staying in the majors. Chicago RHP Jason Hammel (5-0, 1.77). He struck out four and walked two before three relievers finished the three-hitter. “You’ve just got to keep improving, keep working hard, and see whatever happens”. He also allowed two runs, struck out six and walked none.He retired the first nine batters in order, then gave up a leadoff triple to Travis Jankowski to open the fourth.
