PITTSBURGH -- Eric Thames ended a nine-game streak without a home run on Sunday, hitting his 12th homer of the season in the ninth inning of the Brewers' 6-2 win over the Pirates in the series finale at PNC Park.
Thames finished Sunday 3-for-4 with the homer, a double, hit by pitch and two RBIs. During his nine-game power drought, Thames was 6-for-34 with one extra-base hit and one RBI. His batting average fell from .373 to .308. His three-hit effort on Sunday put him back up to .324.
"He's continued to have good at-bats," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
