There had to be plenty of the “here we go again” feeling going around when Charlie Morton allowed a two-run homer in the first, and the Pirates found themselves down to the Brewers early. Thankfully, they were able to battle out of the hole this time for a fairly satisfying victory.
Lots to like about this one: Morton rebounding from the early bomb for a solid start, the offense finally figuring out Jimmy Nelson, some clutch hits from Chris Stewart, the bullpen locking it down,…ok, the defense wasn’t too sharp, but on this night, at least, that was OK.
