Brewers Win 12th Straight With Sweep Of Pirates

MILWAUKEE (AP) — William Contreras drove in four runs, Christian Yelich drove in three and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-5 to extend their winning streak to 12 games. Milwaukee scored double-digit runs for the second straight game and the fourth time this month. The Brewers belted out 12 hits but only two — back-to-back fourth-inning doubles by Sal Frelick and Isaac Collins — were for extra bases. Frelick and Joey Ortiz each drove in two runs and Collins had one RBI. The Brewers start an eight-game road trip with the first of three against the Reds in Cincinnati on Friday. The Pirates have lost five in a row.
