Snider had three hits, including a tiebreaking two-run homer in the fifth off Milwaukee starter Hiram Burgos (1-2), as the Pirates moved seven games above .500 and won for the sixth time in seven games. Liriano (2-0), making his second start, gave up one run on six hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out seven.
Burgos allowed three runs on eight hits in five innings as Milwaukee fell to 2-12 in May and dropped to 6-12 away from home. Jean Segura finished with two hits and stole his major league-leading 14th base.

Pittsburgh opened up breathing room with four runs in the sixth, including Snider’s run-scoring single to center. Pittsburgh pounded out 13 hits, getting two each from Starling Marte, Andrew McCutchen, Garrett Jones and Russell Martin.
