PITTSBURGH — The Pirates probably could have used a furry or two, although they surely would’ve settled for a clutch hit. However it happened, some semblance of a late-game charge.
Instead, they scored just once after the second inning on Sunday against the Brewers at PNC Park. The result was a 6-3 loss that doubled as another series victory for the Brewers.
Although the Pirates have fared well against the Cardinals (5-2) and Reds (5-2) this season, they’ve been terrible against the Brewers (1-5) and Cubs (0-6) halfway through NL Central play.
