The game was decided in one explosive inning. Milwaukee scored five runs in the fourth to support Kyle Harrison's dominant pitching performance, shutting out Pittsburgh 5-0 at American Family Field.
Harrison carried the Brewers with 12 strikeouts over six innings, allowing just one hit and one walk. The left-hander threw 101 pitches while earning his second win of the season, carrying a 2.28 ERA.
The fourth inning broke the game open with four consecutive scoring plays. Contreras scored on Sánchez's groundout to second for the first run. Rengifo's single to center brought Bauers home, then Hamilton doubled to right to score Frelick. Lockridge capped the rally with a two-run single to left, scoring both Rengifo and Hamilton.
Carmen Mlodzinski absorbed the loss for Pittsburgh, allowing five runs on five hits over 3.2 innings. The Pirates managed only two hits against Milwaukee's pitching staff and never mounted a serious threat.
Milwaukee snapped a four-game losing streak to improve to 13-13. Pittsburgh's two-game winning streak ended as they fell to 16-11.
