Alvarez hits two HRs again for Pirates

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Pedro Alvarez had two home runs for the second consecutive game and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 15-3 Wednesday night.

The Pirates’ prized rookie hit a two-run homer to center in the fifth and a solo shot off the right-field pole in the eighth.

Delwyn Young had a home run and a career-high five RBIs to help Pittsburgh win for the fourth time in five games. On Tuesday, Alvarez had a grand slam and a solo homer in the Pirates’ 11-9 win over Milwaukee.

George Kottaras homered for the Brewers, who had a starting pitcher allow more then 10 runs for the third time in four games.
