Brewers continue dominance of Buccos
The Milwaukee Brewers completed yet another sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates at Miller Park on Wednesday.
The Brewers have won 15 straight against Pittsburgh, going back to May 22nd of last year.
“They’ve got our number,” Pittsburgh starter Ian Snell said . “They’re a good team.”
Brewers’ ace Yovani Gallardo pitched 8 innings, allowing only 2 hits with 11 Ks. Oh yeah, he provided the only run of the game with his homerun in the 7th inning off Snell, who started for the Pirates.
“It’s just fun,” Gallardo said. “I’m sure I’ll be in the batting cage and on the field joking about it.”
Since starting 4-9, the Brewers have gone on to win 7 of the next 8, putting them at 11-10 on the young season, good for a second place tie in the NL Central Division.
The Brewers are doing it all right now with solid pitching, clutch hitting, and nice defense. They welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks into Miller Park for a 4 game weekend series.
Thursday’s matchup will be the Brewers’ Jeff Suppan (1-2, 7.32) against Arizona’s Max Scherzer (0-2, 4.91).
Game time 7:05p.m. CST at Miller Park.
