The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers again on Sunday, 5-4, at PNC Park and completed their first series sweep of the shortened 2020 season.
Gregory Polanco’s two-run home run in the eighth inning to put the Pirates ahead to stay. Polanco finished 2 for 3 with a walk. It was his second two-hit game in as many days, lifting his batting average from .085 to .151.
Chris Stratton pitched a scoreless eighth inning and picked up the win.
Two Pirates left the game due to injuries. Colin Moran left after the second inning and Kevin Newman exited after the third. Moran was injured in a collision with the Brewers’ Avisail Garcia at first base. Newman was hurt when he struck out swinging.
Greg Brown has the recap.
The Pirates are off on Monday before starting a series with the White Sox on Tuesday.
