    PITTSBURGH -- Lyle Overbay didnt take it personally. [b]Air Max 97 Cheap Australia[/b] . Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle decided to have Edinson Volquez intentionally walk Scooter Gennett, a .287 hitter, to pitch to Overbay with the score tied runners on second and third in the fourth inning Saturday. With good reason. The Milwaukee Brewers first baseman was hitting just .213. Overbay came through, hitting a tiebreaking two-run single to centre field that made it 4-2 and sent the NL Central-leading Brewers on their way to a 9-3 victory. Just before Gennett was walked, Khris Davis hit an RBI single to tie the score at 2-2. "I wasnt really surprised that they walked Scooter in that situation," Overbay said. "Volquez has a good sinker and theyre looking to get a double play there. What I need to do there is make sure I dont swing at a sinker low and away and hit into the double play." Milwaukee had lost three of its previous four gamers, including getting routed 15-5 by the Pirates on Friday night. "This was a good win," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "It feels good to come back the next day and play well. We got some big hits, took advantage of some opportunities they gave us and got solid pitching." Matt Garza (4-4) got through six shaky innings to win back-to-back starts for the first time since last July. He allowed five walks and six hits while striking out one, yet limited the Pirates to three runs a day after they scored a season-high. Rob Wooten, Will Smith and Brandon Kintzler each pitched an inning of scoreless relief. "Personal wins are nice, but the team winning is what really matters, and all I want to do is keep stacking up those team wins," Garza said. Davis and Jonathan Lucroy had two hits each for the NL Central-leading Brewers. Ryan Brauns two-run double in a four-run eighth inning extended Milwaukees lead to 8-3. Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez had two hits each for Pittsburgh, which committed five errors. First baseman Ike Davis made two of the errors on one play in the first inning when he failed to catch a pickoff throw then threw wildly to second base. "We gave up a lot of free bases with the errors," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "From a fielding perspective, we were all over the place. We made it a lot tougher on our pitchers than it needed to be." Volquez (3-5) lost for the first time in four starts, giving up four runs and four hits in six innings. "I left a couple of pitches right in the middle of the plate in (the fourth) inning," Volquez said. "Ive got to do a better job than that. I let them have a big inning and that was the ballgame." Pittsburgh got within 4-3 in the sixth inning on a double play grounder before Milwaukee put the game away in the eighth on Brauns double and an infield RBI single by Jean Segura. Irving Falu added a sacrifice fly in the ninth. Alvarezs two-run single in the second inning put the Pirates ahead 2-1 after Lucroy hit a sacrifice fly in the first. The Pirates Josh Harrison extended his hitting streak 10 games, tying a career high, with a two-out double in the ninth inning NOTES: Milwaukee placed RHP Tyler Thornburg on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right elbow after the game and recalled RHP Mike Fiers from Triple-A Nashville. . Pittsburgh RHP Gerrit Cole was scratched from his scheduled start Monday night against the Chicago Cubs. LHP Jeff Locke will be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and start Sunday against the Brewers Yovani Gallardo (3-4, 4.08) in the finale of the three-game series. RHP Charlie Morton will start Monday instead of Sunday. . Pittsburgh LF Starling Marte, mired in an 0-for-20 slump, was not in the lineup for a fourth straight game. ... Milwaukee rookie LHP Wei-Chung Wang bruised his right knee Friday night but X-rays showed no broken bones.

Madrid visits promoted club Eibar on the same day.Messi has been stuck on 250 league goals for the past three games, leaving him one shy of matching Telmo Zarras all-time record.But many will surely be wondering about Messis future after he hinted that he may be rethinking his once steadfast commitment to the club he has played for since he was 13.While I always said that I would like to stay there (Barcelona) forever, sometimes not everything happens the way you want, Messi said.Messis father and agent downplayed the stir by saying that people exaggerated his sons comment, insisting that the four-time player of the year was happy at Barcelona.Here are some other things to know about this weekends games:___MOYES DEBUTSDavid Moyes said he had come to Spain to test his coaching talents against the best teams in the world, no doubt referring to European champion Real Madrid, league champion Atletico Madrid and, of course, Barcelona.Moyes will get an easier first taste of the Spanish league, however, with a trip to Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.The former Manchester United and Everton manager takes over a Sociedad side that has underperformed and finds itself level on points with Deportivo in a pack of five teams only three points out of last place.Sociedad forward Chory Castro said Moyes is looking to gradually mould the team to his liking.What he has most emphasized is that we pressure every time we lose the ball, Casstro said.

Either Francisco Isco Alarcon or Sami Khedira will likely take his place in the starting lineup.___EXPORTING EIBAREibar will welcome Madrid to its Ipurua Stadium, which has a capacity of only 6,000 spectators, for the first time.And Eibar is not letting the international exposure go to waste. The small Basque club has sold advertising to a Chinese car parts manufacturer that will appear on the back of its players shorts just for the Madrid game.Through 10 matches, Eibar had established the best start to a season by a debutante in the league. It arrives from a 2-1 loss at Malaga last match.___KEEPING PACEValencia, Atletico and Sevilla all need to bounce back after dropping points last time out.Valencia is in third place, three points behind Madrid, before its city derby at Levante on Sunday.
