Brewers rookie pitcher Zach Davies couldn't find the plate Saturday in Pittsburgh. The result was predictable.
Davies, who was coming off a no-walk effort in Miami, allowed five free passes in just 3 2/3 innings against the Pirates. He also surrendered six runs on six hits to absorb his first career defeat.
The right-hander survived two doubles in the first two innings, then lost it in the third as the first six batters he faced reached base and five runs scored. An RBI double by Aramis Ramirez in the fourth doomed him to an early exit.
Davies now owns a 6.60 ERA in three starts.
