Oneil Cruz hit two home runs and Adam Frazier scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting the host Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-5 comeback win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. <\/p>\n
Cruz’s ninth home run in the third opened the game’s scoring and his 10th home run in the ninth off Abner Uribe (2-1) tied the game at 4-4. <\/p>\n
After trailing 3-2, the Pirates tied the game three times from the seventh inning on and won for the third time in their past four games. <\/p>\n
Isaac Collins’ RBI single in the top of the 10th off Ryan Borucki (1-1) gave the Brewers a 5-4 lead. Alexander Canario set up the Pirates’ decisive comeback with an RBI double to lead off the bottom of the inning, which scored automatic runner Spencer Horwitz to make it 5-5. <\/p>\n
Canario nearly scored the winning run moments later on a single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa. But Canario was ruled out for leaving the baseline in an attempt despite to avoid the tag of catcher William Contreras. <\/p>\n
Moments later, a wild pitch by Uribe allowed Frazier to cross the plate with the winning run. A day after snapping a streak of 26 consecutive games scoring four runs or fewer, Pittsburgh scored its most runs since April 22. <\/p>\n
Contreras’ solo home run in the top of the ninth off Pirates reliever David Bednar put Milwaukee ahead 4-3. In the bottom of the inning against Uribe, Cruz knotted the game when his second homer traveled 427 feet to right-center. <\/p>\n
Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich and Rhys Hoskins each had two hits to lead the Brewers. <\/p>\n
Frazier and Kiner-Falefa each had three hits for Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n
Things appeared to be lining up for Pirates ace Paul Skenes to pick up his first win since April 25 as he entered the sixth with a 2-0 advantage. <\/p>\n
However, the Brewers scored a run in the sixth on a Hoskins two-out RBI single that scored Chourio. <\/p>\n
In the seventh, Milwaukee’s Brice Turang tied the game with an RBI single off Tanner Rainey, which scored Jake Bauers. <\/p>\n
Dennis Santana came on and gave up an RBI single to Chourio, scoring Andruw Monasterio to give Milwaukee a short-lived 3-2 lead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oneil Cruz hit two home runs and Adam Frazier scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[5,136,3385,843,59,4280,4,1330,64,8768],"class_list":{"0":"post-50414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-brewers","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brewers","10":"tag-home-runs","11":"tag-milwaukee","12":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","13":"tag-milwaukeebrewers","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-oneil-cruz","16":"tag-pittsburgh-pirates","17":"tag-wild-pitch"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114561146195809825","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
