Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez was out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Brewers with a right-hander on the mound.
Manager Clint Hurdle told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review the 26-year-old sat due to the matchup. Alvarez has gone 0 for 15 in his career against Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo.
"I've watched him go against (Gallardo) for two straight years, and this is the third year," Hurdle said. "We'll try something different."
It was his first time sitting against a righty since June 5, 2012.
