Pirates 1, Brewers 0: Held to just two hits, Brewers shut out for 10th time this season
Summary
It wasn’t surprising that the Pirates had trouble with Chacín, who was 6-0 with a 2.66 earned run average in is previous 12 starts, a long stretch of excellence. That hit followed a walk to Hernán Pérez, and the two runners pulled off a double steal when catcher Francisco Cervelli tried a pickoff at first base. Cervelli drew a walk and Josh Bell hit a grounder up the middle that got past the diving Villar for a single, putting runners on the corners. After traveling all morning from Colorado Springs and not eating properly or drinking enough fluids, plus pitching in uncustomary heat, Houser said his stomach became upset. It’ll be a funny story for a while.” As far as post-game ribbing from teammates, Houser said a flight attendant on the team charter handed him a plastic garbage bag, compliments of fellow reliever Jeremy Jeffress.
