Brewers survive ninth-inning bullpen implosion, beat Pirates 7-6 in extras

The final score may not indicate it, but early on this game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates had all the makings of a good old fashioned pitcher’s duel. Southpaw Steven Brault got the start for the home team and Zach Davies started for the visitors, with both hurlers tossing up zeroes in the first three frames. Milwaukee drew first blood in the fourth inning. Yasmani Grandal led off with a double, then moved up to third on a groundout by Mike Moustakas. Keston Hiura struck with a runner on third and less than two outs, but fortunately Jesus Aguilar was there to pick him up.
