Pirates aiming for rare series sweep vs. Brewers

The Pittsburgh Pirates will be going for a series sweep Sunday against visiting Milwaukee, which would be quite a feat for a club that entered Friday with four wins, total.

Pittsburgh won two games in a row for the first time all season by pasting the Brewers 12-5 Saturday.

A sweep isn't foreign to the Pirates. After all, they were just involved in one in their previous series. Of course, that was on the wrong end of three games against Cleveland.

However, an explosive offense is something out of the ordinary for Pittsburgh, which has 19 runs and 28 hits in winning the first two games of the series.
