Brewers shut out Pirates to earn series split
After beating the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, the Pittsburgh Pirates dropped Sunday’s finale, 2-0, to earn a series split.
Zach Thompson started for the Bucs just hours after he was activated off the injured list and gave up two earned runs over four-and-two-thirds innings. The two runs coming off the bat of catcher Omar Narváez, who homered to right in the fifth inning.
The Pirates’ bullpen was nearly spotless in the game. Duane Underwood Jr., who also rejoined the team today, allowed just one hit and one walk while tallying a strikeout over one-and-one-third innings. Tyler Beede and Chris Stratton combined for three perfect innings at the end of the game.
