For the game, Milwaukee’s rookies accounted for four of the clubs nine hits and two of the three RBIs and one of the runs scored. It was also a good night from Victor Caratini, with the catcher coming through with a pair of hits and two runs scored.

The Brewers pitching staff kept them in the game as the offense struggled to find its footing. Corbin Burnes went six innings, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out five and walking four. The bullpen got solid efforts from Elvis Pegeuro, Andrew Chafin, Joel Payamps and Devin Williams. The latter got the win by pitching a scoreless 10th that included a strikeout of Andrew McCutcheon.

With the win, Milwaukee moved to 1.5 games up on Cincinnati and 2.5 games up on Chicago for first in the NL Central.

The Brewers and Pirates will close out their four game series Sunday afternoon. First pitch is at 1:10 p.m. at American Family Field.
