MILWAUKEE — Just when it seemed like the Pirates had life — and a hit — in a key situation, it was gone. And so was the game.
In the ninth inning of Friday’s game against the Brewers at American Life Field, the Pirates got a rare hit with runners on base, as Daniel Vogelbach singled into the gap in right-center field.
As Diego Castillo came around to score easily, Kevin Newman tried to score as well but was thrown out by Andrew McCutchen, tossing a relay throw to Willy Adames and ultimately Victor Caratini, the Pirates suffering a 4-3 loss.
