Brewers Escape Pirates’ Ninth-Inning Rally for 3-2 Win

The Milwaukee Brewers held on to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night, narrowly averting a potential collapse in the bottom of the ninth. In the third inning, the Brewers capitalized on Pirates’ miscues, scoring three runs off one hit, two walks, and two hit batsmen. The Pirates fought back, with a two-run homer by Bryan Reynolds in the bottom of the third, but they were unable to overcome the Brewers’ early lead. In the ninth, the Pirates threatened to tie the game with runners on first and third, but Joel Payamps struck out Andrew McCutchen to end the game. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Pirates, while the Brewers improved to 4-3 on their road trip.
