Zimmermann loaded the bases for Ryan O’Hearn in the first inning, who took him deep for a grand slam to put the Padres on the board for a big early lead. An error in the second inning put a runner on before Luis Arraez took Zimmermann deep for a two-run blast. Zimmermann was able to settle in to give the Brewers four more innings of work, ending his day with just one strikeout over six. That was likely his one and only appearance for Milwaukee after making Tuesday’s spot start.
