Bucs scratch out win 3-2 as bullpen shuts down the Brewers

The Pirates scored both the tying and winning runs on pitcher to shortstop fielder’s choices and Felipe Vazquez pitched two dominant innings to nail down the win as Pittsburgh came from behind for a 3-2 win at Milwaukee.

With both starting pitchers owning ERAs among the five worst in the majors and the Pirates coming off back-to-back blowouts in Houston, it was easy to imagine a slug fest in Miller Park, and the script looked to be playing out in the bottom of the first when Chris Archer surrendered a walk and a pair of doubles to the Brewers.
