The Milwaukee Brewers have now lost four consecutive games after being swept by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates took the series finale on Sunday, 5-4

Justin Smoak ended up driving in three of Milwaukee's four runs. Smoak initially got the Brewers on the board with an RBI double in the 4th inning, followed by a two-run home run in the 6th inning. Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta pitched well against Pittsburgh, but David Phelps would be charged with the loss after he surrendered a go-ahead two-run home run to Gregory Polanco in the 8th inning.

The Brewers now return to Miller Park for a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds, starting on Monday.
