MLB: Pittsburgh 6, Milwaukee 4

MILWAUKEE, July 15 (UPI) -- Pinch-hitter Josh Harrison scored the go-ahead run on a seventh-inning passed ball Saturday and the Pittsburgh Pirates went on to a 6-4 win over Milwaukee.

The Pirates took advantage of Milwaukee miscues to rally from a 4-3 deficit in the seventh.

Clint Barmes led off the frame with a single and Harrison, hitting for Pirates starter Kevin Correia, laid down a bunt. Milwaukee pitcher Kameron Low (4-3) fielded it but fired wildly to first, allowing Barmes to score the tying run.

After Drew Sutton struck out, Neil Walker's single sent Harrison to third and, with Andrew McCutchen at the plate, he then came home with the decisive run on a passed ball by Brewers catcher Martin Maldonado.

Correia (6-6) earned the win, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits over six full frames.

McCutchen smacked a two-run homer, and Casey McGehee went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two RBI for the Pirates, who remained tied with Cincinnati atop the National League Central.
