MILWAUKEE (AP) — Raimel Tapia’s sacrifice fly to deep center put Milwaukee ahead in a four-run eighth inning for the Brewers, who rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Sunday and sweep the three-game series. The Brewers remain a half game ahead of the Reds in the National League Central. Pittsburgh is now two and a half games behind Milwaukee and has lost six straight. Tapia’s deep fly to center, which Ji Hwan Bae caught as he crashed into the wall, appeared as though it might carry over the fence for a grand slam.
