Brewers extend streak against Pirates

April 29, 2009 By WRN Contributor

The Pittsburgh Pirates can't wait to get out of Milwaukee.  The Brewers came from a 5-1 deficit to rebound for a 6-5 win over the Pirates at Miller Park on Tuesday night.  Bill Hall and Rickie Weeks homered in the 6th inning to cap off the comeback. 

It marks the 14th straight win against the Pirates overall and the 17th straight over the Pirates at Miller Park. 

The games all-time saves leader marched out of the bullpen to work the 9th for the Brewers, this time doing so without a 5-run lead.  Hoffman coaxed a game ending double-play to pick up his first save as a Brewers and the 555th of his career.

The Brewers will go for the sweep today when they close out the series against the Pirates (12:05pm) at Miller Park.  Yovani Gallardo goes for the Brewers (2-1 3.71 ERA) against Pittsburgh's Ian Snell (1-2, 4.50 ERA).
