MILWAUKEE -- Andrew McCutchen feels right at home in Miller Park.McCutchen hit a home run and a pair of RBI singles through the shift, including the tiebreaker in the 10th inning as the Pittsburgh Pirates stopped a nine-game skid in Milwaukee, beating the Brewers 3-2 Thursday night.He now has 44 RBI in 56 career games at Miller Park, his highest total at any opposing park.Theres no (surprise) elements here, McCutchen said. You get the same thing. You know what you are going to get. You know how the ball is going to lk, regardless of the weather. There are really no elements unless you are playing a day game and the shadows start to creep in.McCutchen, who came in batting .246, homered into the second tier of seats in left field off Wily Peralta in the first for his 18th home run of the season. He then hit an RBI single that beat the shift in the third.I know he hasnt had the great year that he normally has, but hes a force, no question, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.McCutchens blast was the 26th career home run against the Brewers and tied with the Cincinnati Reds for his highest total against any single opponent.Pinch-hitter John Jaso blped a single off Carlos Torres (2-3) in the 10th, advanced on a sacrifice, tk third on a ground out and scored on McCutchens liner through the empty right side of the infield.Even when Im behind in the count, I know I can still battle and get the job done, McCutchen said. I was able to do that today.McCutchen foiled the strategy that moved the second baseman behind the bag, leaving a huge gap between first and second.Im just taking what they gave me, he said. If they have a shift on, Im a guy that hits the ball to all parts of the field. Thats starting to show a lot more.Antonio Bastardo (2-0) picked up the win in relief and Tony Watson pitched a scoreless 10th for his eighth save in 11 chances.Chad Kuhl, making his first career appearance against Milwaukee, cruised through the first six innings -- allowing just two hits. However, he ran out of gas in the seventh.Pitching coach Ray Searage made a mound visit after Chris Carters one-out double and just before Nieuwenhuis stepped in. Whatever was said, didnt work.

Orlando Arcia doubled to end the 23-year-old rkie right-handers eighth start of the season.Kuhl thought that his slider deserted him in the seventh.It was going well for me all night, he said. Then, it flattened out. Im a human, not a robot. I wish I could throw it perfectly every time, but it happens.Kuhl walked two, snapping his streak of no walks in his three previous road starts. He struck out five in 6 1/3 innings, his longest outing of the season and fifth consecutive time he went at least six innings.With McCutchens winning hit, the Pirates have won seven of Kuhls first eight major-league starts.Peralta was done after throwing 63 of 100 pitches for strikes in five shaky innings.
