Gary Snchez pinch hits for 2-run homer in 8th; Brewers rally for 7-5 win,
series split with Pirates
By WES CROSBY
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Gary Snchez hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the
eighth inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 7-5 win over the Pittsburgh
Pirates and a series split on Thursday.
Snchez drove an 0-2 sinker from Aroldis Chapman (0-2) 371 feet to right with
two outs, putting the Brewers ahead 6-5. Two of his three home runs came this
series, including on Tuesday when he produced Milwaukee's lone run in a 2-1
loss.
The Brewers have won six of eight after taking the final two of the four-game
series. The Pirates have lost eight of 10 after an 11-5 start.
Oliver Dunn tacked on a seventh run with a single to right off Roansy Contreras
in the ninth before Trevor Megill retired the side in order in the bottom half
for his first save in the majors.
Jared Koenig (1-0) picked up the win, getting through the seventh unscathed
after allowing two hits and a walk.
Joey Bart put Pittsburgh ahead 3-1 in the first with a three-run home run, his
third in seven games this season, sent 419 feet to center off a fastball from
Freddy Peralta.
It came after William Contreras hit his fifth of the season for Milwaukee in
the top half, driving a sinker from Mitch Keller 448 feet into the left field
bleachers with an exit velocity of 114.4.
Jake Bauers and Rhys Hoskins tied it 3-all with back-to-back RBI singles in the
third before Hoskins gave the Brewers their second one-run lead with a double
to left that popped out of the glove of a diving Jack Suwinski in the fifth.
Keller struck out seven in five innings, giving up four runs on six hits with
two walks.
Peralta was pulled with two outs in the fifth, walking Bart before allowing the
tying run on a double from Suwinski and a soft single to right from Jared
Triolo to fall behind 5-4. The Brewers ace allowed five runs on five hits and
five walks with five strikeouts.
