Game 136: Brewers 7 Pirates 4

The big story from this one is that Gorzelanny really, really struggled out on the mound today. He only made through four innings and he needed 105 pitches to get that far. His overall ball/strike numbers weren't too bad (105 pitches, 66 strikes), but he walked three batters and gave up six hits and really just didn't have it today. Unfortunately, neither did Franquellis Osoria and every time the Pirates got close, he let more Brewers cross the plate and that was that for this one. "17-10 in August" quickly turned into a five game losing streak and more general malaise. It's amazing how fast the Pirates can pull something like that off.
