MILWAUKEE — Chi Chi Gonzalez looked down at the ground, shook his head out of frustration, and the Brewers reliever mouthed a couple words that … well, weren’t exactly family friendly. Another Pirates home run had sailed over the fence, this one a three-run shot from former Brewer Daniel Vogelbach, one of four on the day off Pittsburgh bats.
It turned out to be the biggest, too.
While the Pirates aren’t likely to be confused with the Bronx Bombers or anything like that, Sunday’s power surge came at a key time. It helped them claim victory in this series with an 8-4 win at American Family Field, and it also involved a few players who occupy interesting spots when it comes to Pittsburgh’s organizational flow chart.
