Pirates Avoid Sweep, Beat Brewers in Series Finale at PNC Park
Henry Davis homered in the eighth as Pittsburgh scored five times in the second and handed Milwaukee its 58th loss.
On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 at PNC Park, powered by a five-run second inning.
Konnor Griffin hit a two-run single and Henry Davis added a two-run homer during the rally, while Brewers starter Kyle Harrison allowed five runs in just 1 2/3 innings.
Pirates right-hander Khristian Curtis earned the win, working 3 1/3 innings of relief as Pittsburgh faces missing the playoffs for an 11th consecutive season.
Despite the loss, the division-leading Brewers maintained the best record in the major leagues but went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position, leaving 11 runners on base.
The Pirates face Kansas City on Friday night, while the Brewers will start RHP Dustin May against the Baltimore Orioles in their next series.
