Due to the new balanced scheduling implemented across Major League Baseball this year, the Brewers have yet to face the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2023.
That changes on Friday. The two teams will go head-to-head for three games at American Family Field over the weekend, a series that could shift the standings atop the National League Central.
The Brewers and Pirates have traded places atop the division throughout the season, and Milwaukee’s current six-game skid has allowed Pittsburgh to reclaim the top spot. Pending the outcome of Thursday night’s game between the Pirates and Chicago Cubs, the Brewers will be either 0.
