  RECAP | BOX SCORE

PHOENIX (AP) _ Emergency starter Mike Busby pitched five hitless innings, and Geoff Jenkins hit a run-scoring triple and a solo homer Friday to lead the Milwaukee Brewers over the Anaheim Angels 8-3 Friday.

Jose Fernandez and Lyle Mouton each hit their fourth spring homer as the Brewers stopped a five-game losing streak.

Jeff D'Amico, Milwaukee's scheduled starter, was scratched due to stiffness in his right shoulder. The injury was not thought to be serious, but the Brewers are being cautious because D'Amico has missed virtually all of the past two seasons with shoulder problems.

Busby, who pitched for St. Louis last year, walked four batters and struck out nine.

Garret Anderson's seventh-inning leadoff single off Horacoio Estrada was Anaheim's first hit. Estrada then picked off Anderson.

Anaheim, which made four errors, got run-scoring hits from Orlando Palmeiro, Steve Decker and Trent Durrington.

Angels starter Jason Dickson, 0-3 this spring, allowed four runs _ three earned _ and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings, giving up a two-run homer to Fernandez, who has 13 RBIs this spring.

Troy Percival entered in the seventh and allowed consecutive homers to Jenkins and Mouton, who is 15-for-30 with a team-leading 14 RBIs.

Anaheim reliever Lou Pote worked the eighth and allowed three walks and a hit, giving up two runs.
