Crew cuts lead to 1; hardest throw of `17 key
(MLB.com Milwaukee Brewers)

Chase Anderson continued his string of solid starts by pitching six scoreless innings, and Domingo Santana backed him with a solo homer in a 1-0 win over the Pirates on Tuesday at PNC Park. The shutout was also aided by the burgeoning reputation of center fielder Brett Phillips, who kept the potential tying run from even thinking of trying to score from third in the sixth on a flyout to center. Phillips unleashed a 104.7-mph throw to the plate -- the hardest-thrown ball this season, according to Statcast™ -- and he now owns the top three hardest outfield throws for 2017. The Brewers, who have won nine of their last 11 games and won or split seven of their last eight series, can sweep the three-game set with a victory in Wednesday`s series finale.
