Guerra shuts down Pirates over 8 2/3 in win

Guerra entered the ninth inning at 87 pitches with hope for a "Maddux" -- a complete-game shutout on fewer than 100 pitches. The Pirates dashed those hopes, with pinch-hitter Matt Joyce leading off with a single and John Jaso working a walk on Guerra's 99th pitch.

Andrew McCutchen's groundout ended Guerra's shutout bid, and Starling Marte's smash single up the middle with two outs ended Guerra's bid for the Brewers' first complete game in more than a year. Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress retired Jung-Ho Kang on one pitch for the save.
