It seemed impossible - that Colin Moran could score from first base, but with two outs and the game already tied in the bottom of the tenth, the relay throw from center field skipped through the legs of Brewers’ catcher Eric Kratz, all the way to the backstop, as a dead to rights Moran slid into home with the most improbable winning run as the Pirates competed a five game sweep of the formerly first place Milwaukee Brewers.
Early in Milwaukee’s Jhoulys Chacin and Pittsburgh’s Joe Musgrove efficiently mowed through the opposing lineups. Travis Shaw lifted a solo homer into the right field seats, his 18th of the year, in the second inning, even though it was struck at only 94 mph.
