Arizona Pulls Away Late in 9-1 Win Over Milwaukee
02/25/2022 | Baseball
Arizona starting pitcher TJ Nichols (1-0) delivered an electric performance on the mound, striking out a career-high nine batters across 6.0 innings of work. He allowed just one run on four hits and earned his first win of the year.
Following Nichols were right-hander George Arias Jr. and southpaw Christian Holden, who held the Panthers scoreless on just three hits to slam the door shut.
The Wildcats held a narrow 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh but took advantage of a number of Panthers miscues to post a crooked number and break the game open. Garen Caulfield delivered the biggest blow of the frame, poking a two-run single into right center.
