Brewers come back big against Pirates, 7-4

The Brewers’ offense continued to surge in Saturdays’ huge come-from-behind win against the Pirates.

An uncharacteristic Corbin Burnes start necessitated such a comeback. Early on, Burnes failed to produce strikeouts at his usual clip, and he was backed by a struggling defense. Burnes pitched four innings on the books after coming on in the fifth but failing to get an out. He allowed eight hits, all four runs (two earned), and walked three batters. He allowed a leadoff runner in four of five innings. For all his struggles, he flashed brilliance all day and struck out eight.

The first two innings must have been particularly frustrating for Burnes.
