PITTSBURGH, PA (WSAU-MetroSource) — The Brewers were unable to come back from a large early deficit and dropped Saturday’s game to the Pirates 12-2.
Kevin Newman and Starling Marte each drove in three runs, leading Pittsburgh over Milwaukee. Newman had four hits, including a home run. Melky Cabrera also homered for the Pirates.
Dario Agrazal (2-0) allowed two runs in six innings after being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. The rookie right-hander gave up those runs on two homers, one by Mike Moustakas in the first and another by Yasmani Grandal two innings later.
Adrian Houser (2-3) gave up more than three runs for the second time in 19 appearances – including five starts – this season, allowing five on seven hits in four innings.
Before they get to enjoy the All-Star break, the Brewers and Pirates have some things to settle Sunday, when they play the deciding game of a three-game weekend series at PNC Park. Pregame is set for 12 p.m. on WSAU.
