Saturday was much different, with the Brewers having to dig deep to win 3-2 in 10 innings. "You don't come through every opportunity, but when you do, that's what matters." The Pirates have gone 2-0-1 in their past three series but have lost three of their past four games. Oviedo is 1-2 with a 6.16 ERA in five career games (two starts) against the Brewers.

Brian Trautman has spent the past 14 years living on a 53-foot sailboat, sailing to 46 countries. I gave my business partners my year's notice in 2008 and started selling everything to buy a sailboat. Starting my lifelong sailing adventureI bought SV Delos, a 53-foot Amel Super Maramu sailboat, for $390,000 in 2008. We left the boat with my brother and his girlfriend, who continued to sail Delos across the Atlantic to Antigua. When she was 4 months old, all three of us flew back to Antigua to reboard Delos and sail the Caribbean.
