PITTSBURGH — Trevor Williams continued his run of impressive strikeout performances, punching out six Milwaukee Brewers in the Pirates' 1-0 loss on Tuesday.
Williams got all six strikeouts via swinging strikes and only allowed three hits over his five innings.
The lone run he gave up was when a Domingo Santana fly ball barely cleared the wall in the short corner of left field in the fourth inning.
The Pirates offense came up with a second straight blank despite the return of Starling Marte, who went 2 for 4 with two stolen bases.
They wasted a two on, no out opportunity in the sixth when Andrew McCutchen struck out and Josh Bell and Gregory Polanco flew out.
