Pirates drop fifth straight

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Struggling rookie Orlando Arcia had three hits, including a tiebreaking single in Milwaukee’s four-run eighth inning, and the Brewers beat Pittsburgh 7-4 on Saturday night to extend the Pirates’ losing streak to five games.

Arcia grounded a bases-loaded single into right field against Felipe Rivero, lifting the Brewers to a 3-2 lead. Pinch hitter Manny Pina followed with a two-run single and Keon Broxton capped the big inning with an RBI single as Milwaukee won its third straight following a six-game losing streak.

Pittsburgh’s Neftali Feliz (4-2) was charged with two runs, retiring only one of the three batters before leaving with right arm discomfort.

Arcia, considered the Brewers’ top prospect entering the season, raised his batting average to .206 in 29 games since making his major league debut Aug. 1.
