Brewers offense builds a big-enough lead, holds on to defeat Pirates 11-8

It was looking like we might get a repeat of last night in the eighth inning when the Brewers bullpen had a bad eighth inning. Thankfully, the Brewers offense built up enough of a buffer this time and the Brewers came away from this one with an 11-8 win.

Early on, the Brewers were cruising in this game. Corbin Burnes was staked to a 1-0 lead before he threw a pitch thanks to a Rowdy Tellez sacrifice fly in the first. Two singles started the second inning for the Brewers, and then Blake Perkins grounded into a fielder’s choice that allowed Brian Anderson to score from third.
