PIRATES TAKE THE NIGHT CAP
PITTSBURGH 6, MILWAUKEE 2
WHEN: 4:05
PM ET, Saturday, July 14, 2018
WHERE: PNC Park,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Rookie right-hander Clay Holmes pitched six scoreless
innings for his first career win as the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the visiting
Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 Saturday for a doubleheader sweep and a five-game winning
streak.
Max Moroff, Jordan Luplow (two), Starling Marte and
Gregory Polanco hit solo homers, and David Freese added a two-out RBI double
for the Pirates, who have won seven of eight.
Jesus Aguilar had a two-run single in the ninth for the
Brewers, who have a season-worst five-game losing streak, have lost seven of
nine and have been knocked out of first in the National League Central.
The 25-year-old Holmes (1-1), called up to make his
second major league start, gave up four hits -- a double and three singles --
with six strikeouts and two walks.
Felipe Vazquez got the final out for his 23rd save and
second of the day.
Milwaukee left-hander Brent Suter (8-6), who came off the
disabled list to start, pitched five innings. He allowed two hits, including
Moroff's homer, struck out three and walked one.
Leading off the third, Moroff hit his third homer, down
the line in left, for a 1-0 Pittsburgh lead.
Against reliever Jeremy Jeffress in the sixth, Marte hit
a one-out double to right to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. He moved to
third on Polanco's flyout and scored on Freese's single up the middle to make
it 2-0.
Luplow led off the seventh with his first homer, a shot
to center off reliever Dan Jennings, to make it 3-0.
Against Aaron Wilkerson in the eighth, Marte hit his 13th
homer, to left, and Polanco followed with his 16th, to right, to boost the lead
to 5-0. Those two also hit back-to-back homers in the first game of the
doubleheader.
Two outs later, Luplow went 441 feet to left-center for
his second homer in as many innings.
Aguilar's two-out, bases-loaded single in the ninth
against Michael Feliz broke up the shutout.
