San Miguel dismantled an equally depleted Brgy. Ginebra side, 90-78, Sunday night in the 2023 PBA on Tour at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.

The Gin Kings, on the other hand, missed the services of Scottie Thompson, Japeth Aguilar, Jamie Malonzo, Christian Standhardinger, and Stanley Pringle in their first preseason tournament game.

The Beermen led by as many as 24 points and cruised to their second win in three starts.

“We are just here to improve, learn, and win,” said San Miguel head coach Jorge Gallent. “We learn from our mistakes, we improve from our mistakes, and that’s what we are going to do in the PBA on Tour.”

Jericho Cruz backstopped Romeo with 18 points while CJ Perez and Rodney Brondial added 15 and 12 points, respectively with the latter also compiling a game-high 16 rebounds. Allyn Bulanadi rounded up the team’s double-digit scorers with 10.
