PITTSBURGH (AP) — Oneil Cruz tripled home Isiah Kiner-Falefa with two outs in the seventh and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1. Kiner-Falefa singled off Tyler Alexander with one out. Cruz followed up two batters later by sending a shot to the gap in right-center field. The 6-foot-7 Cruz — coming off the first multihomer game of his career in a victory Friday night — slid head-first into third, then popped up to celebrate. Spencer Horwitz added two hits and drove in a run for the Pirates, who have won four of five. Caleb Durbin had three hits for the Brewers.
