Home runs and strong pitching carry Brewers to 5-2 win over Pirates

The Brewers managed just three hits on Tuesday night, but two were home runs, making it enough offense to notch a 5-2 win over the Pirates.

Milwaukee got on the board first with a four-run second inning. Andrew McCutchen led off the frame with a walk, and Rowdy Tellez followed with a laser beam to the right-field bleachers that put the Brewers up 2-0.

The home run, Tellez’s second of the season, left the bat at 114 mph and traveled 424 feet.

With two outs in the inning, Lorenzo Cain reached on a routine ground ball to shortstop thanks to a throwing error by Kevin Newman.
