Chris Stewart Helps Pirates Snap Seven Game Losing Streak Against Brewers

PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates are momentarily four games back of the rain-delayed Cardinals after finally burying the hatchet and beating those pesky Milwaukee Brewers on a beautiful Friday night at PNC Park. One player in particular, Chris Stewart, had a major role in this one, and he continues to be an important part of this 2015 campaign for the Bucs.

Stewart was able to come up with two key hits for the Pirates, and he finished with a 3-for-4 night at the plate.

With the bases loaded in the fourth, following a Jordy Mercer infield single to finally crack Brewers’ starter Jimmy Nelson, Stewart did was he does best – put the ball in play.
