Mike Fiers roughed up in Cactus League start
Michael Fiers - S - Milwaukee Brewers
March 16, 2013 - 8:40 PM ET

Michael Fiers allowed eight hits and five runs in four innings of the Brewers 9-9 tie with the Reds Saturday.

Fiers wasn't just getting dinked and dunked, either, as he allowed five doubles and a home run. After an impressive 22-start run in 2012 in which he struck out over a batter per inning, there is some question as to whether the 27-year-old can duplicate that success over a full season. Fortunately for the righty, his rotation spot is guaranteed heading into 2013.
