The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in their three-game series following a 5-2 victory Sunday. David Bednar took the loss in relief of Wil Crowe after he allowed three runs in the sixth inning. One of the runs was charged to Crowe, who left the game after pitching to one batter in the sixth. He allowed two runs on two hits in his outing. Crowe struck out eight and walked just one batter. The Pirates had 10 hits in the game, but also stranded 10 runners.
The Pirates have now lost seven games in a row, their longest losing streak of the season.
Ke’Bryan Hayes extended his hitting streak to 10 games this season, and has had a hit in 18 straight games dating back to last season.
The Pirates open a three-game series with the Washington Nationals tonight in the nation’s capital. First pitch is 7:05pm. Pre-game begins at 6:40pm on WISR 680am.
