MILWAUKEE -- One big swing released a little frustration for Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer.After an intentional walk loaded the bases for him with two outs in the sixth inning, Mercer hit his first career grand slam just over the wall in left-center to help the Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3 Friday night.Puts a little chip on your shoulder, for sure, Mercer said.With runners on second and third with two outs, starter Matt Garza walked Francisco Cervelli to bring up the eighth-place hitter, Mercer.Garza got ahead in the count 0-2. Then he hung a pitch over the plate.I floated a slider in there, he said.He didnt get help from third baseman Jonathan Villar that inning. He committed errors on consecutive at-bats to open the sixth.Villar bobbled a bouncer by Andrew McCutchen, then threw wildly to second after making a diving stab on Gregory Polancos hard shot.Starling Marte followed with an RBI double off Garza (4-6) to break a scoreless tie. Three batters later, Mercer connected.You take advantage of those opportunities, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. In the big leagues, if you want to be an elite team, those are opportunities you need to cash in on.The Brewers rallied in the bottom of the sixth behind a three-run shot from rookie shortstop Orlando Arcia, his first in the big leagues.Pittsburghs problematic bullpen barely held on from there to back starter Ryan Vogelsong (3-3).NERVOUS NINTHDomingo Santana popped out to end the game with the potential tying run at second.Tony Watson escaped the jam for his ninth save. He had allowed a two-out single to Ryan Braun and a walk to Chris Carter, and they pulled off a double steal before getting stranded.The game boiled down to a couple of mistakes, a bad 0-2 pitch and that was the game, manager Craig Counsell said.MOUND MENA pair of veteran right-handers, Vogelsong and Garza, kept the bats quiet over the first five innings.Vogelsong won for the second time in three outings, allowing four hits in 5 2/3 innings while striking out six and walking four. He has a 2.48 ERA in five August starts.Ive always been a guy that gets out of stuff, sometimes better than others, Vogelsong said. Most of the time, get some traffic and make pitches and get out of it.Garza struck out a season-high nine, but stomped off the mound after Mercers two-out blast.Thats a tough one to swallow for him over there, Hurdle said.ORLANDO BLOOMSVillar was the Brewers starting shortstop until a few weeks ago when top prospect Arcia was called up from the minors. Villar, who has 50 steals, is still working on the glove at third.Arcia, known for his defensive prowess, got a huge confidence boost at the plate. He was hitting .182 coming into the night.He pointed into the stands after crossing the plate. Somewhere in Miller Park, his sister and two friends were watching.Arcia said teammate Martin Maldonado, who was on deck, told him to watch for Jared Hughes to leave a sinker up in the zone.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) was scheduled to make his next rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Indianapolis.Brewers: RHP Junior Guerra (elbow) was scheduled to make on rehab start before returning to the team, likely when rosters expand on Sept. 1. Counsell said the team will likely move to a six-man rotation when Guerra returns. ... 3B Will Middlebrooks (right leg) will start a rehab assignment at Double-A Biloxi this week.UP NEXTPirates: RHP Jameson Taillon (3-3) has a 2.25 ERA over his last eight starts, going at least six innings in each game.Brewers: RHP Jimmy Nelson (7-13) is 5-2 in seven career starts against the Pirates with a 2.55 ERA.---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAPVladislav Namestnikov Jersey .

It is very satisfying to beat stronger and better rivals, especially if it happens to be a Cuban, Sachin told PTI from St Petersburg after the brilliant triumph.It is a huge moment in my career. I fought five bouts in this tournament and I am glad I could give a performance like this. The Cuban was also good but its just that he could not trap me in his strategy. I never allowed him to get close to me, the confident youngster said.The lanky teen, who once again put his powerful left jab to good use, displayed brilliant ringcraft against his shorter and often clueless opponent.India thus finished the tournament with one gold and a bronze, a marked improvement from the solitaryy bronze won in the 2014 edition.ddddddddddddNaman Tanwar (91kg) had settled for a bronze after losing in the semifinal yesterday.As promised at a send-off function before the boxers departure to Russia, the newly-formed Boxing Federation of India was quick to announce a Rs one lakh cash award for Sachin, while Naman will be presented Rs 25,000. The BFI has also promised to suitably reward the coaches travelling with the team. Our young boxers Sachin and Naman have made India proud by winning medals in the Youth World Championships. I hope these cash awards will encourage them to do even better in future. This is the first step towards our country reclaiming its rightful place as a boxing power in the world, BFI President Ajay Singh said.The Bhiwani lad, whose formative coaching took place at the Hawa Singh Academy, joined Thokchom Nanao Singh and Vikas Krishan in the Indian youth world championships gold club. While Nanao had finished on top in the 2008 edition in the now phased out 48kg category, Vikas had brought home the welterweight gold in 2010. ' ' '
