Civale pitches 6 shutout innings, Ortiz has 3 hits in Brewers’ 5-2 win over Pirates

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Aaron Civale pitched six scoreless innings in his last start before the postseason and Joey Ortiz was a home run short of the cycle as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Thursday. “In this day and age to see a pitcher like that … he had pinpoint control today.” Ortiz, a rookie third baseman, tripled in third inning and came home on Brice Turang’s ground out to open the scoring. Mitch Keller lost his final start of the year, giving up three runs and six hits in five innings in the Pirates’ home finale. Bryan De La Cruz broke up the Brewers’ shutout bid with a two-run home run in the seventh inning off Nick Mears, but the Pirates lost for the ninth time in 13 games.
