Pittsburgh Pirates shut out the Milwaukee Brewers 6-0 Friday night, with Paul Schienes dominating on the mound. The NL-SI young winner kept it perfect into the 7th, before Jake Bowers broke it out with a single. Schienes tossed 7 scoreless innings, one hit total, 7 strikeouts, no walks on 93 pitches. Mason Montgomery and Isaac Matson closed it out for the one hitter. This marks another close call for Schienes in Milwaukee. He almost had a no hitter here, back on July 11th, 2024, giving up nothing over. Seven frames in a one-nothing win. Twenty-year-old Connor Griffin stole the show at the plate, smashing his first career home run on his birthday and driving in three runs total. Nick Gonzalez added an RBI single. O'Neal Cruz forced in a run, and Griffin capped it with a two-run single in the afe. The Brewers shuffled their roster before the game, calling up first-basement Tyler Black
