Brandon Woodruff pitched seven shutout innings and Mark Canha’s two-run single capped a six-run fifth inning as the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-3 on Tuesday night.
Woodruff allowed just two hits, singles to Ji Hwan Bae in the first inning and Endy Rodriguez in the fifth. Woodruff also had six strikeouts and two walks while improving to 14-3 with a 2.36 ERA in his last 29 starts dating to last season.
Woodruff missed nearly four months with right shoulder inflammation before returning Aug. 6. He is beginning to feel comfortable again after making six starts. Andre Jackson was charged with six runs in 4 1/3 innings and walked five as the Pirates lost for just the second time in eight games. Jackson retired the Brewers in order in each of the first three innings before struggling in the fourth and fifth.
Milwaukee’s William Contreras walked twice but went 0 for 3 to end his career-best 14-game hitting streak.
