Morgan’s sacrifice fly lifts Brewers over Pirates

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nyjer Morgan’s game-ending sacrifice fly in the 10th inning lifted the Milwaukee Brewers a 2-1 win over the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates and a series sweep.

The Brewers have now won all eight games against the Pirates this season and 12 straight over the last two years at Miller Park. The last time the Pirates won at Miller Park was April 28, 2010. The Pirates have won just two of the team’s last 36 games in Milwaukee.

With one out in the 10th inning, George Kottaras singled to left field and Casey McGehee followed with a double. Morgan then hit the first pitch from Chris Resop (3-4) to deep right field and Kottaras scored easily for the win.

Takashi Salto (3-1) got the win for the Brewers as he pitched a scoreless 10th inning.
