Brewers Win Third Straight, Move Into Virtual Tie For Second

The Milwaukee Brewers have moved into a virtual tie for second place in the National League Central with their third straight win, a 3-1 home decision against Pittsburgh. The top two teams in the division, Chicago and Saint Louis, both lost but the Crew technically remains in third at one percentage point behind the Cardinals. Manny Pina drove in two runs on a groundout and an infield single, and Keon Broxton hit a solo homer. Zach Davies improved to 14-6 by giving up one run in six and two thirds innings with Corey Knebel earning his 23rd save. Adam Frazier tripled home Pittsburgh’s only run, and Ivan Nova gave up two runs in six frames to take the loss and fall to 10-10.
