US EditionBrewers Take Down Pirates 8-5 in Rain-Delayed Game
- Christian Yelich’s two home runs helped the Milwaukee Brewers secure an 8-5 victory over Pittsburgh in a game that was delayed by rain on Thursday night.
- The Brewers' victory followed a 1 hour and 50 minute rain delay and strong hitting, including Christian Yelich’s two home runs off rookie Mike Burrows and reliever Isaac Mattson.
- Yelich’s first inning three-run homer came against Burrows, who had been called up Wednesday and surrendered four runs in his first trip through order but retired nine of his final 11 batters.
- Christian Yelich hit two home runs for the 11th time in his career, while Joey Ortiz connected for his second homer of the season, and Sal Frelick contributed a late two-run single to help the Brewers secure the win.
- The Pirates ended a 26-game stretch during which they failed to reach five runs in a game, a dry spell matched by only a few teams in MLB history, thanks to Spencer Horwitz’s solo home run and an RBI groundout.
