The Brewers were walked off by an unearned run for the second straight game, losing to the Pirates on a throwing error in the bottom of the ninth.
Brewers’ starter Junior Guerra might have been a little strong after his long lay-off. He was hitting 96 and 97 on his fastball, but not locating it well. Combine that with an inability to control his splitter and you have a two walk, two run first for the Pirates. David Freese drove in the first with a jam shot single to right, and a sacrifice fly to right from Francisco Cervelli plated the second.
