Pittsburgh PiratesvsMilwaukee Brewers
PIT 2/MIL 5
Things to say
The Brewers beat the Pirates 5-2 at American Family Field on Wednesday.
01
opener
Brewers took it 5-2, never really felt close after the middle innings. Milwaukee's just rolling right now. That's a good team playing like a good team.
02
key player
Milwaukee's starter set the tone early — got into his stuff, worked the corners, and kept Pittsburgh's bats off balance all night.
03
hot take
Honestly at 72-43 the Brewers are the best team nobody outside Milwaukee is talking about. That's a problem for October.
04
deep cut
Pirates hung around at 2 but couldn't cash in with runners on — leaving the heart of the order stranded is how you lose a getaway day.
05
exit
Anyway, Pittsburgh's gotta turn the page fast — they're circling the drain at 57-60. Curious who they run out there next series.
The recap
Milwaukee kept rolling at home, handling the Pirates 5-2 to push to a ridiculous 72-43. The Brewers' arms set the tone early, keeping Pittsburgh's bats quiet and never letting the heart of the order do any damage.
Pittsburgh scratched across a couple but could never string enough together to make it interesting. Getaway-day snoozer for the Pirates, another notch in the belt for a Brewers club that just keeps winning.
