Carmen Molodzinski was dealing early, cruising through three clean innings against the Milwaukee Brewer's at American Family.

Field on Sunday afternoon, but things flipped in the fourth where a catcher's interference call turned the game,

leading to a five-nothing loss for the pirates, now 16-and, 12.

That interference happened on Joy-Bart with two strikes on South Freelich, keeping the inning alive and sparking a four-run Brewer's explosion.

Gary Sanchez drove in one on a ground out. David Hamilton added another with a double to right center,

and Brandon Lockridge capped it with a two-run, single.

Pirate's fans felt the sting as their team, sitting pretty at 16 wins, couldn't muster much offense.

The Brewer's, 14 and 13, grabbed the series lead right there, exposing some defensive cracks for Pittsburgh early in the season.

In the top of the eighth, the pirates loaded the bases with two outs against reliever Aaron Ashby, hearts pumping for a comeback.

But Brian Reynolds grounded out to second, slamming the door on any rally.

This loss drops Molodzinski to one and two, and the pirates head home needing to shake it off quick before the next series heats up.
