Well, the Pirates were probably have done just as well yesterday if they had left all the pitchers back at the hotel. Their 20-0 victory over the Pirates ended what has been a completely lost series with the Brewers, as they were outscored in 3 games 36-1. Ryan Braun led the way, going 3-4 with 3 runs, a home run, and 5 RBI (and even a stolen base for good measure).
