Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | Pirates fall for record 21st time in Milwaukee

So, the Pirates lost to Milwaukee, 4-1, yesterday at Miller Park.

What else is news?

Sure, this one had a chance to different: Ross Ohlendorf, their hottest pitcher, was taking the mound. And the lineup would have Ryan Doumit back at cleanup after his two-day benching, as well as Ronny Cedeno after missing a week to a fractured finger.

As first baseman Garrett Jones put it, “I thought this was going to be the day.”

Nope.

Ohlendorf allowed a funky three-run fifth inning, and the Pirates’ offense mustered no more than another Jones home run for a franchise-record 21st consecutive loss in any road city, as the Brewers finished a three-game sweep an ... well, never mind.
