MILWAUKEE -- Andrew McCutchen feels right at home in Miller Park.
Jake McCabe Jersey .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 look, 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 blooped a single off Carlos
Torres (2-3) in the 10th, advanced on a sacrifice, took 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. Kirk Nieuwenhuis
hit Kuhls first pitch into the seats in right to tie the score. Orlando Arcia
doubled to end the 23-year-old rookie 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. He walked three
and struck out five in his fourth start since rejoining the rotation on Aug. 9.
He had been optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs on June 12 after going 4-7 in
13 starts, including the season opener.MARTES MOTORINGMarte stole his 43rd base
of the season. The last Pirate to record more than 42 steals in a season was
Tony Womack who had 58 in 1998.CALL OVERTURNEDSecond base umpire Bob Davidsons
out call on Starling Martes attempted steal of second in the Pirates fifth was
overturned after a 2:34 review.CREEPY TALEPirates manager Clint Hurdle shared a
story about ghosts at the teams hotel during his pregame session with the
media.Baseball players in the past have reported eerie encounters and strange
happenings at the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee.I had a player call me one
night assuring me of the fact that there is a ghost and it turned his TV on
twice during the night, Hurdle said. I actually had him come into my room to
settle him down. Went back to his room for a while. Sat with him. The TV didnt
come back on. I exited and everything was OK. I dont want to name names, but hes
still playing.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: 3B Jung Ho Kang accompanied the team on the
road trip. Hes been on the 15-day disabled list since Aug. 20 with a left
shoulder injury.Brewers: RHP Jacob Barnes is scheduled to begin a rehab
assignment at Double-A Biloxi on Friday. Hes been on disabled list since July 27
with right elbow soreness.UP NEXTPirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (2-3, 2.98 ERA)
makes his seventh start and 17th appearance when he faces Milwaukee for the
first time this season. He is 4-0 with a 2.53 ERA in his last six appearances,
including five starts, against the Brewers.Brewers: RHP Matt Garza (4-5, 5.27)

those two starts and overall, he is 3-4 with a 4.37 ERA in 11 career outings.

. Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. KUALA LUMPUR,
Malaysia -- Despite boasting one of the worlds highest-spending domestic
leagues, Chinas dreams of automatic qualification for the 2018 World Cup are
fading.China coach Gao Hongbo quit on Tuesday after a 2-0 defeat in Uzbekistan
left his team with just one point from four games in Asias last round of World
Cup qualifying.I spoke with the heads of the Chinese Football Association before
the match and we agreed if we couldn`t reach a positive result against
Uzbekistan I would stand down from my post, Gao said.Marat Bikmaev and Otabek
Shukurov scored a goal each in Tashkent as Uzbekistan outclassed China, which
lost 1-0 at home to Syria five days previously. China has only ever appeared at
one World Cup, in 2002.Despite the poor record on the international stage, there
has been massive investment in Chinese soccer in recent years.Clubs in the
Chinese Super League have spent more than $400 million on foreign players in
2016 alone. South American stars such as Hulk, Alex Teixeira, Ramires and
Jackson Martinez have helped Shanghai SIPG, Jiangsu Suning and Guangzhou
Evergrande challenge in the domestic competition and in the Asian Champions
League.High-profile coaches including Luiz Felipe Scolari, Sven Goran Eriksson
and Manuel Pellegrini have also lifted the international profile of the
league.Yet despite the massive investment from the private and public sector --
the government is also focusing on youth development -- the standard of the
national team will take longer to improve.Nations such as Syria and Iraq, which
are not allowed to play games at home because of security concerns, have
collected more points in qualifying so far.There are still six games remaining
in the round, including one next month when China hosts Qatar, meaning the
Chinese team still technically has time to qualify. But with unbeaten Iran
leading the group with 10 points, one clear of Uzbekistan and three ahead of
South Korea, the chances of China qualifying for Russia 2018 appear to be
remote.The top two of the six teams in Groups A and B will qualify automatically
for the World Cup, with the two third-place teams going to a fourth-round match
to decide which of them makes the intercontinental playoffs.Here are other
results on Tuesday:----AUSTRALIA 1, JAPAN 1A second-half penalty from Mile
Jedinak earned Australia a draw against Japan in Group B, though the Soccerooos
drop into second spot in Group B, two points behind leader Saudi Arabia.
Rasmus Ristolainen Sabres Jersey. Genki
Haraguchi had put Japan ahead in the sixth minute after a mistake from the
Australian backline, but the Hertha Berlin forward gave away a penalty early in
the second half with a push on Tomi Juric.We expected a reaction from ourselves
and thats what we got, Jedinak said. Second half we were a bit more patient, our
movement was better and we put them on the back foot.The draw is Australias
second in a row, following a 2-2 result against Saudi Arabia on Thursday, and
leaves the Socceroos unbeaten with eight points from four games. Japan has seven
points.I think it was two points lost, Japan coach Vahid Halilhodzic said. But
we played well and had chances to win.---SAUDI ARABIA 3, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
0Saudi Arabia moved to the top of Group B with an emphatic win in Jeddah.Fahad
Al Muwallad broke the deadlock with 17 minutes remaining and shortly after Nawaf
Al Abed added a second.Yahya Al-Shehri scored in injury time for Bert Van
Marwijks men. The win takes the four-time World Cup participants to 10 points,
two clear of Australia.United Arab Emirates is fourth in the group with six
points, one point behind Japan.---IRAN 1, SOUTH KOREA 0,A first-half strike from
Sardar Azmoun gave Iran victory over South Korea in Tehran to move to top of
Group A with 10 points.Azmoun, 21, scored goal number 16 in just his 22nd
appearance for Iran, which dominated the game in front of almost 100,000 fans at
the Azadi Stadium.South Korea, aiming for a ninth successive appearance at the
World Cup, is third in the group with seven points.---QATAR 1, SYRIA 0In Doha,
Qatar picked up its first points in Group A with a 1-0 win over Syria.Hasan Al
Haydos scored the only goal of the game with a penalty in the 37th minute.Qatar,
host of the 2022 World Cup, has three points and climbs off bottom place in the
group above China. Syria is fourth with four points.---IRAQ 4, THAILAND
0Mohannad Abdulraheem scored all four goals as Iraq beat Thailand for its first
points in Group B.Abdulraheem scored two goals in each half against a team that
finished with 10 men after Koravit Namwiset was sent off with 20 minutes
remaining.Thailand has lost all four of its group games.
