PITTSBURGH, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Josh Harrison's RBI double triggered a seven-run seventh inning Monday that carried Pittsburgh to a 9-2 win over Milwaukee in the second game of a doubleheader.

Ryan Doumit went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for the Pirates, who avenged an 8-1 loss in the first game of the twin bill and broke a 13-game losing streak to the Brewers.

Daniel McCutchen (4-3) worked a scoreless seventh to earn the win in relief of starter Brad Lincoln, who had allowed two runs over six frames.

Milwaukee's Zack Greinke (12-5) absorbed the defeat, giving up seven runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings after winning his previous five starts.

Corey Hart homered for the National League Central-leading Brewers.
