Gonzales, Reynolds help the Pirates outlast the Brewers, 6-3 in 10 innings
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nick Gonzales had a go-ahead single in the 10th, Bryan Reynolds followed with a two-run single and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 on Saturday night. Henry Davis started the 10th at second for the Pirates against Angel Zerpa (0-2). Pinch-hitter Marcell Ozuna walked and Nick Yorke pinch ran for Ozuna.
Reynolds singled to left to score Davis and chase Zerpa. Gonzales then hit a sharp single off Grant Anderson to drive in Yorke and Reynolds. Gregory Soto (2-0) pitched the ninth, and Yohan Ramírez worked the 10th for his first save.
Milwaukee had a chance in the bottom of the eighth against Dennis Santana. Garrett Mitchell laced a two-out double and Sal Frelick was walked intentionally before Greg Jones struck out swinging. Frelick had a pair of sacrifice flies for Milwaukee, the second off reliever Issac Mattson to tie 3 in the sixth.
Spencer Horwitz’ sacrifice fly in the sixth put the Pirates ahead 3-2. He also drove in a run with a single to center in the fourth. Rookie Konnor Griffin followed with his second hit in the game, a two-out run-scoring single.
The Brewers tied it in the fourth. Jack Bauers led off with a single and took second on left fielder Jack Mangun’s fielding error. Mitchell’s groundout scored Bauers.
