Pirates beat Brewers 4-1 behind Oviedo’s gem, three homers
Pirates starter Johan Oviedo went seven scoreless innings, allowing just two hits as Pittsburgh split their series with the Milwaukee Brewers behind a 4-1 win. The Pirates (50-61) relied on the long ball once again, with all four of their runs coming via homer.
Making his first big league start in nearly four months following his recovery from a shoulder strain, Brewers’ right-hander Brandon Woodruff struck out five of the first six Pirates he faced.
The seventh batter, rookie catcher Endy Rodríguez, lifted a payoff pitch over the right field wall, opening a 1-0 lead.
Oviedo allowed a one-out walk in the bottom of the third to second baseman Brice Turang. Turang immediately stole second, but Oviedo froze him there with consecutive strikeouts, the second of Christian Yelich.
