Arcia goes hitless in debut for Brewers
- Updated: August 3, 2016
SAN DIEGO — It was at this same stadium nine seasons ago that Ryan Braun made his own Major League debut. So when the latest Brewers phenom arrived Tuesday at Petco Park, Braun though it appropriate to stop Orlando Arcia in the clubhouse and offer a few words of advice.

“Easier said than done,” Braun said. “There’s a ton of adrenaline, a ton of emotion, a lot of thoughts that are running through your head. Hey, it’s even exciting for all of us to see a guy with his potential show up. It’s something we can all feed off of.”
In the end, it was Braun, not Arcia, providing the excitement in a 3-2 win over the Padres. Braun homered and made a critical diving catch while Arcia went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his first Major League at-bat followed by three groundouts. He made three routine plays in the field and showed off his strong arm, but never had a chance to flash the highlight-reel defense that is his hallmark.
