PHOENIX -- Ned Yost notched his first win as Milwaukee's new manager
as Brady Clark hit a two-run homer and Royce Clayton drove in two
runs to beat the Chicago Cubs 6-5 Saturday.

Cubs right-hander Kerry Wood, scratched from a start Friday because
of a chest cold, relieved in the third and pitched a scoreless
inning.

"The aches and pains were gone, but I'm not over it yet," Wood said,
referring to his cold. "All the stuff that was supposed to feel good
felt good."

Clark, trying to win a reserve outfield job after being let go by
Cincinnati and the New York Mets in the past year, has impressed Yost
with his hard-nosed play.

"Brady Clark is everywhere," Yost said. "It's hard to distinguish him
from Scott Podsednik and Mark Budzinski and the other guys who are
trying to win jobs. They're all playing really hard."

Clayton and Wes Helms each two hits for the Brewers, who had lost
their first two exhibition games. Clark's homer off Mike Remlinger
highlighted a four-run fourth inning.

Brewers right-hander Curtis Leskanic, who missed all of last season
because of shoulder problems, worked one inning and gave up one run,
one hit and a walk. His fastball touched 92 mph on the radar gun,
which club officials saw as a positive sign.

"It was good just to see Curtis out there again," Yost said.

Mike DeJean, who took over the closer's role from Leskanic last
season, worked a perfect ninth to pick up the save.
