The Brewers dropped a three-game series with the Pirates on Wednesday, losing the rubber match by a score of 5-4.
Milwaukee’s offense gave Freddy Peralta some early run support but otherwise went quiet most of the afternoon as the Pirates mounted a comeback.
Willy Adames struck early with a three-run home run in the first inning off Colin Selby, who started a bullpen game for the Pirates.
Staked to a 3-0 lead, Peralta gave one run back in the bottom of the first on a solo home run by Ke’Bryan Hayes but otherwise held serve through his first five innings.
