 The Pirates won three games against the Brewers at PNC Park last weekend.  It was their first series sweep of Milwaukee since a five-game set at Pittsburgh in July 2018.  In the interim, the Brewers had won 22 of 31 games between the teams.

 Derek Shelton and the Pirates enter the series with a 9--19 record.  Only three current MLB managers lost at least 20 of their first 30 games in the majors, but two of them became World Series winners: Terry Francona (10--20) and Joe Girardi (8--22). The other is Brandon Hyde (10--20).

 The Brewers had only eight hits in a pair of seven-inning losses to the Reds yesterday. It was Milwaukee's lowest hit total in a doubleheader since May 4, 2011 (7 hits at Atlanta). The team's record low of five hits in a twinbill was set in 1972 against the Orioles (vs. McNally and Alexander) and tied in 1977 at KC.

 Colin Moran was the major leagues' early home-run leader with five through August 1. Moran, however, has hit only one homer in 15 games since then (53 AB).

 Christian Yelich has swung at the first pitch on only 13% of his plate appearances this season, compared to a career high 30% in 2019.

 Derek Holland leveled his career record at 79--79 with a victory over the Brewers last Saturday.  At one time Holland's record stood 16 games above the .500 mark (57--41 through games of April 19, 2016).

Long balls are in vogue for the host Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates midway through their four-game series at Miller Park.
Both teams have struggled offensively much of the season, but going into Sunday's game, they have combined for nine home runs in the first two games of their series.

Brewers look to continue bashing ball -- and Pirates

MILWAUKEE (AP)  Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Josh Bell has joked for years during batting practice at Miller Park about hitting the promotional vehicle parked well above the wall in right-center field.
Bell finally did it Sunday. His towering shot in the fourth inning put the Pirates ahead for good in a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
