MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks didn’t arrive in Milwaukee until nearly 4 a.m. CDT Monday to begin their four-game series with the Brewers because of mechanical issues with their plane.
Manager Torey Lovullo said he was told there were brake issues with the plane that was supposed to take the team from Arizona to Milwaukee.
“We had to find another plane,” Lovullo said. “It was like a five-hour window before another plane could pick us up.”

Lovullo said he got to his hotel room at about 4:30 a.m., about 14 hours before the start of Monday night’s game.
He credited director of team travel Roger Riley for keeping the team informed during the delay, which followed the Diamondbacks’ 6-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
The team found plenty of ways to pass the time. Reliever John Curtiss recently released an album of original songs, and Lovullo said the Diamondbacks listened to the entire thing.
“We were shooting the breeze, doing things a team would do if you had a rain delay or a plane delay,” Lovullo said. “We took advantage of it, for sure.”
