Kyle Harrison Strikes Out the Final 8 Batters He Faces as Brewers Beat the Pirates 4-2

On Wednesday, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Kyle Harrison returned from the injured list, striking out 10 batters over five innings to lead the Brewers to a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
During a rehab stint last week with Class High-A Wisconsin, Harrison refined his changeup, aiming to build conviction in the pitch after using it just 10% of the time during the season.
Christian Yelich delivered an RBI double in the fourth inning, and William Contreras homered to support the pitching staff as the NL Central-leading Brewers improved to 71-43.
Despite the dominant outing, Harrison departed before the sixth inning due to cramping in both calves, raising immediate questions about his availability moving forward.
