With one down in the Pirates fifth, Stallings singled and Polanco drew a walk but Anderson retired Rodolfo Castro on a fly to center and reliever Cody Ponce bounced into a force at second, keeping the shutout intact. One-out singles by Ben Gamel and Jacob Stallings put runners on the corners but Tellez fielded Gregory Polanco’s sharp grounder to first and deftly started at 3-6-3 double play to snuff that threat. Avisaíl García smoked an RBI double off the wall in center in the second to chase Oviedo and Rowdy Tellez greeted Mears with a two-run single to make it 8-0.Īnderson went to work with that big early cushion, escaping one rough spot in the second. In his first game back in the majors since straining his right hamstring on Memorial Day, Lorenzo Cain chipped in with a run-scoring single in the first. Before reliever Nick Mears recorded the first out in the top of the second, the Brewers held an 8-0 lead.Ĭatcher Omar Narváez, who had been in a bit of a skid (2 for 12 on the last home stand with no RBI), did much of the heavy lifting in that early outburst with a two-run home run in the first and two-run single in the second, both off Oviedo. In an inning-plus, Oviedo allowed five hits, three walks and eight runs (six earned) with two strikeouts. Reliever Luis Oviedo was given his first major-league start, and to say the least, it didn’t go well. The Pirates scratched their scheduled starter, left-hander Tyler Anderson, shortly before game time when he appeared to be traded to Philadelphia, but those talks collapsed and led to a later deal with Seattle.
