MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – Steven Brault and four relievers combined on a three-hitter as the Pirates blanked the Brewers 7-0 in Milwaukee.
Brault tossed six-frames of one-hit ball to pick up his first career win. He also drove in his first two big league runs with a single in the sixth.
Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte and Jordy Mercer homered as Pittsburgh snapped a five-game slide.
Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff surrendered six runs over five innings to take the loss.
At 75-and-69, Milwaukee sits two-and-a-half games out of first in the NL Central and four out of the final NL wild card spot.
The two teams play again tonight…pre game show at 6:05 on WTAQ. 1st pitch is set for 6:40.
