MILWAUKEE -- Steven Brault hit nearly .400 in his final season as a college pitcher/outfielder at Regis University, and he's been even better than that in the Minor Leagues. So nobody in the Pirates' dugout was shocked to see him pull a double to right field, then rip a two-run single to center on Monday night.
The more significant development for Brault was not his swing, but the Brewers' swings -- more specifically, their swings and misses. Brault held Milwaukee to one hit, struck out six over six innings and earned his first Major League win in Pittsburgh's 7-0 victory at Miller Park.
