Gregory Polanco’s two-run homer in the eighth gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 5-4 win Sunday and a sweep of their weekend series against Milwaukee.
Brewers first baseman Justin Smoak’s sixth-inning home run with a man on had given the visitors a 4-2 lead, but they couldn’t hold it.
David Phelps surrendered Polanco’s go-ahead blast and took the loss. Milwaukee lost six-of-10 games on the season’s longest road trip.
