Pirates drop series opener in Milwaukee, 6-2

Monday night’s contest went from a competitive match-up to a one-sided affair quicker than a lightning strike, as the Milwaukee Brewers powered their way to a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates at American Family Field.

In his Pirates debut, right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson allowed just two hits and one earned run over five innings of work. His only trouble came in the third inning as two singles and a sacrifice fly led to the game’s first run.

Center fielder Bryan Reynolds may have had a quiet night at the plate, but he continued to shine defensively as a diving catch robbed the Brewers of a two-out rally in the second inning.
