Brewers Beat Pirates 5-0, End Skid

0:00On April 26th, Milwaukee Brewers shut down the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-0 on Sunday, dodging a sweep with a gem from Kyle Harrison. The young Ridey punched out a career high 12 batters, gave up just one hit and one walk over six scoreless frames to snack his second win. That victory snapped a four-game skid for the crew, while spoiling Pittsburgh's first sweep in Milwaukee since August 2016. Pirates haven't taken three straight here since then, and their last sweep of the Brewers was back in August 2022 at home. All five runs came in the fourth off-Carman Maladzinski, who got yanked after a wild inning. Jake Bowers crushed two doubles, helping spark the rally with William Contreras, Luis Rangafo, South Frellick, David Hamilton, and Brandon Lockridge, piling on key hits. Pittsburgh managed only two hits total and fanned 18 times. In the eighth, the Pirates loaded the bases on walks in an error, but Aaron Ashby slammed the door with a grounder from Brian Reynolds.
