Game Thread #35: Pittsburgh Pirates (18-16) @ Milwaukee Brewers (20-14)

In which the Brewers look to win a SERIES against a plus-.500 team

Eric "Soda Boy" Sogard gets second base today, fresh off of a three walk game yesterday

A good outing from Brewers' starter Chase Anderson (3-2, 3.38) would give Milwaukee a leg up on regaining first place in the NL Central, if the Cubs take down the Cards today; or at least remaining only a half game out. The Pirates (18-16) have Chad Kuhl (3-2, 5.01), a pinch runner last night, going.

A day off for Manny Pina, as Jett Bandy continues his quest for that elusive triple.
