PITTSBURGH (AP) — Liover Peguero slashed a two-run double, Luis Ortiz pitched seven strong innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1. Ortiz (7-6) allowed one run on four hits with a walk and five strikeouts in seven innings. His only mistake was a second-inning pitch to Jake Bauers that Bauers sent to the seats in right-center for his 12th homer of the season. Peguero, called up in the final week of the season, doubled off Freddy Peralta (11-9) to produce the only offense the Pirates needed to beat the NL Central champions.
