Three-Run 10th Inning Lifts Pirates Over Brewers
Pitcher's duel ends up being 10th-inning collapse for Milwaukee Brewers as Pittsburg Pirates take 6-3 victory.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski and Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller were putting together stellar starts on Saturday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee. But the Pirates were able to score three runs in the top of the 10th inning, defeating the Brewers 6-3. Misiorowski worked six innings, giving up six hits, three runs (all earned), walked one, and struck out nine.
He even managed to bust the 100-mph limit on one of his pitches, too. Keller worked five innings, giving up five hits, three runs (all earned), walking two, and striking out six. This pitcher's duel, despite both of them giving up three runs apiece, was worth watching.
For Brewers fans, though, things turned into a nightmare in the top of the 10th inning. Oneil Cruz struck out swinging for the Pirates in the top of the 10th inning. With runners at first and second base with one out, Bryan Reynolds singled to left and Henry Davis scored.
Pittsburgh went up 4-3 at that point. Then, with runners at second and third base with two outs, Nick Gonzales singled to left field. Nick Yorke and Reynolds scored, putting the Pirates up at 6-3.
