PITTSBURGH (AP) - Mark Redman pitched his first career shutout to finally win after a long run of excellent but unsuccessful starts, and Jose Castillo's two-run double carried the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 Saturday night.
The Pirates, who won for the eighth time in 11 games, left the bases loaded in each of the first three innings before Castillo chased Brewers starter Victor Santos (1-3) with his none-out double in the fourth.
Daryle Ward singled and Rob Mackowiak doubled for his 13th hit in 26 at-bats to start the fourth after Santos pitched out of trouble in the first three innings. Santos left after throwing 85 pitches in three-plus innings, only 45 for strikes, but still has allowed only seven earned runs in his last four starts.
