Starting pitchers helping Brewers recover on road

May 22, 2008 - 12:45 PM Milwaukee (22-24) at Pittsburgh (21-25) 7:05 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) - Starting pitching has helped the Milwaukee Brewers find success on the road.

The Brewers try to complete their first series sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park when the teams conclude a three-game set on Thursday.

Milwaukee had lost nine consecutive games on the road and five straight overall before forging a pair of victories against the Pirates.

Manny Parra (2-2) pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings on Tuesday before ace Ben Sheets (5-1) logged his second complete game of the season to lead the Brewers to a 4-1 victory on Wednesday.

Dave Bush (1-4, 6.05 ERA) tries to continue Milwaukee's trend of impressive starts when he toes the rubber on Thursday.

Bush allowed five runs - four earned - and five hits in six innings, walking two while striking out two but did not factor in the decision during Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

Tom Gorzelanny (3-4, 6.64) counters for the Pirates after surrendering seven runs and seven hits in six innings en route to a 7-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
