The Milwaukee Brewers swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in their three-game series following a 5-2 victory Sunday. David Bednar took the loss in relief of Wil Crowe after he allowed three runs in the sixth inning. One of the runs was charged to Crowe, who left the game after pitching to one batter in the sixth. He allowed two runs on two hits in his outing. Crowe struck out eight and walked just one batter. The Pirates had 10 hits in the game, but also stranded 10 runners.
