McDonald had a good start, going 6 innings with 1 earned run, but the real story is the hitting. McCutchen, Jones, Barajas, and Barmes all had homeruns in this one, and Barmes also had a clutch single in the second scoring Casey McGehee. Overall, the offense seemed more lively but, Hague came back down to Earth going 0-4 with 2 strikeouts ending his hitting streak.
The importance of winning this series cannot be overstated. The Pirates are just 21-59 against the Brewers since 07', and we still have three more series against them this season. All in all, if the Pirates play the way they did tonight I am very excited about the rest of the season. Please, comment if you have any opinion on the game.
