Craig Wilson again rescues Bucs

The Pirates swept the Brewers in Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are getting used to watching Craig Wilson come through in the clutch.
So are the Milwaukee Brewers.
Wilson homered in the 11th inning and drove in three runs, and Pittsburgh won its sixth straight road game by beating the Brewers 4-3 on Sunday.
Wilson drove in the go-ahead run for the second straight game. His double in the 10th inning Saturday led to an 8-7 victory.
"He's been outstanding," Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon said. "He likes hitting in those situations."
Wilson hit his sixth homer of the season Sunday off Jeff Bennett (1-1) leading off the 11th and is batting .372 after going 3-for-5. Wilson leads the team with 18 RBIs.
"A lot of that has to do with the guys batting in front of me," he said.
Good pitch
Bennett, who spent his first six professional seasons in the Pirates' organization, knew all about Wilson.
"Wilson has awesome power to the opposite field," Bennett said. "I made a good pitch, it was knee-high and away. There aren't many people who can hit that pitch."
Bennett also knew where it was headed.
"Without a doubt, I knew it was out of the park," he said.
Brian Meadows (2-0) got the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Jose Mesa pitched the 11th for his ninth save, and third of the series. With a runner on second, he retired pinch-hitter Wes Helms on a grounder to end it.
It marked the second straight sweep on the road by the Pirates, who won three games against the Mets at Shea Stadium two weeks ago.
Decent start
Pittsburgh starter Ryan Vogelsong left with a 3-2 lead after pitching six innings. He allowed five hits, four walks and struck out six.
The Pirates opened the scoring in the first inning when Tike Redman led off with a single, moved up on a single by Jason Kendall and a double steal before scoring on Wilson's infield hit with two outs.
Milwaukee tied it in the fourth on a groundout by Geoff Jenkins that scored Scott Podsednik, who walked leading off the inning, stole second and went to third on Junior Spivey's single.
Pittsburgh regained the lead in the fifth with two runs off Doug Davis. Jack Wilson and Kendall singled with none out, and Jack Wilson scored on a wild pitch. Kendall made it 3-1, scoring on a hit-and-run single by Craig Wilson.
The Brewers' second run came in the sixth on a sacrifice fly by Lyle Overbay, but Milwaukee failed to tie it after loading the bases with none out against Vogelsong.
The Brewers made it 3-3 in the seventh against reliever Brian Boehringer when Podsednik singled, stole second and scored on Spivey's RBI single.
