After losing to the Milwaukee Brewers seven consecutive times, causing Pirates fans worldwide to ask each other, pointedly and searchingly, "Why can't the Pirates beat the Brewers?," tonight they finally did. The Pirates won 6-3 behind strong pitching by Charlie Morton and timely hitting by backup catcher Chris Stewart.
Tonight's game began inauspiciously, as did last night's. The Brewers took a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first on a hard-hit double by Elian Herrera and a home run to center field by Adam Lind.
