MILWAUKEE — Clint Hurdle insisted the Pittsburgh Pirates weren’t thinking about their long losing streak against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Starling Marte hit a tying two-run homer in the eighth inning and Brandon Inge had a go-ahead RBI single to rally Pittsburgh to a 6-4 victory over Milwaukee on Wednesday, snapping the Pirates’ nine-game skid to the Brewers.

“We don’t make (the losing streak) as big as everybody else does because a lot of these guys weren’t here,” Pittsburgh manager Hurdle said. “They don’t feel the baggage. They hear the noise but after a while, you don’t need to hear the noise because you know what you need to do. You need to play better and win games. That’s how you stop the noise.”

Pedro Alvarez, who homered earlier in the game, added a run-scoring single to cap a four-run eighth as Pittsburgh won for the 10th time in its last 15 games and ended Milwaukee’s eight-game home winning streak.

Bryan Morris (1-1) got the last two outs of the seventh when Ryan Braun hit into a double play for his first career victory. Mark Melancon pitched the eighth and Jason Grilli the ninth for his 11th save in 11 opportunities.

John Axford (0-3) gave up all four runs while getting just two outs in the eighth for the Brewers, who were 11-0 when leading after seven innings.
