MILWAUKEE (AP) — Touted rookie Oneil Cruz hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning and Daniel Vogelbach added a three-run shot in the ninth to power the Pittsburgh Pirates to an 8-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Michael Chavis and Ke’Bryan Hayes also went deep for the Pirates, who took two of three in the series from the NL Central leaders. Lauer slapped his glove just as Hayes connected on a solo home run that gave Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead. It was Pittsburgh’s first road series win since sweeping a three-game series against the Dodgers from May 30 to June 1. Brewers: Begin a two-game series Tuesday in Minnesota with a matchup between two rookie right-handers.
