TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ James Mouton had a two-run single and Luis Lopez had three hits, leading the Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-2 exhibition win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

The Brewers, winning for the first time in three spring outings under new manager Davey Lopes, broke open a 3-2 game with a three-run seventh.

With one out in the seventh, Lou Collier tripled down the right-field line off Rick Croushore, and Matt Luke and Chad Green both walked. Croushore struck out Lopez, but Mouton followed with a two-run single to right. Green subsequently scored on a wild pitch.

Steve Woodard started and pitched three innings for the win, allowing four hits and one run.

Masato Yoshii and ex-Brewer Scott Karl, both candidates for the Rockies' starting rotation, pitched two innings apiece. Yoshii yielded four hits and two runs to take the loss. Karl gave up three hits and one run.

Colorado scored a run in the first when Neifi Perez tripled and Larry Walker hit an RBI groundout.

The Brewers went up 2-1 in the second on Jose Fernandez's RBI double and Collier's RBI single, then added another run in the third that scored on Perez's throwing error.

Scott Servais' run-scoring double in the fourth made it 3-2.

Both teams made numerous personnel changes in the offseason, including two trades between them involving six players.

Karl and two other ex-Brewers, Jeff Cirillo and Mike Myers, played for Colorado. Cirillo had a double in the first, and Myers pitched a 1-2-3 ninth, striking out two. Three ex-Rockies who are on the Milwaukee roster _ Jamey Wright, Curtis Leskanic and Henry Blanco _ did not make the trip.
