Brewers win 7th straight over Pittsburgh

Logan Schafer’s run-scoring single in the 13th inning gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 6-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.  It was Milwaukee’s seventh straight win over the Pirates, who still hold the National League’s top Wild Card by two-and-a-half games.

The Brewers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning, hi-lighted by Khris Davis’ 19th home run of the season.  That lead would last until the eighth inning, when Andrew McCutcheon tied it with a three-run homer.

In the 12th, Ryan Braun gave the Brewers the lead with an R-B-I single, but Gregory Polanco tied it again with a solo shot off of Francisco Rodriguez.  It’s the second blown save of the season for Rodriguez.

In the 13th, Brewers’ catcher Nevin Ashley struck out but reached base on a wild pitch from Radhames Liz.  Ashley later scored the game-winning run on Schafer’s hit.

Rodriguez (1-3) wound up getting the win.  Former starter Kyle Lohse earned just the second save of his 15-year career.

The Brewers send Jimmy Nelson (11-11, 3.86 E-R-A) to the mound in game two of the series tonight.  Charlie Morton (8-7, 4.07 E-R-A) pitches for the Pirates.
