UNDATED (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers now have their longest winning streak since they reeled off 13 straight to begin the 1987 season.
It’s an 11-game run of success for Milwaukee after Omar Narváez collected five hits and Avisaíl (av-ih-sah-EEL’) García had five RBIs in an 11-2 assault on the Pirates. Jace (jays) Peterson chipped in four ribbies and provided three of the Brewers’ 16 hits. Peterson is 16 for 33 with 11 RBIs in his last 13 games.
Eric Lauer didn’t need that much run support to improve to 3-3, allowing one run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings.
The Brewers continue to enjoy the largest division lead, staying eight games ahead of second-place Cincinnati in the NL Central.
The Pirates have dropped six in a row.
