It’s a great day to be a Pittsburgh Pirates fan! Our boys absolutely crushed the Milwaukee Brewers with a resounding 12-2 victory! Let's break down this spectacular performance.Early Innings: A Slow Start but Strong Defense 
The game began quietly with both teams struggling to get runs on the board. In the first inning, Joshua Palacios, Bryan Reynolds, and Rowdy Tellez couldn't get on base, and the Brewers didn’t fare any better, thanks to some tight defense and smart plays, including a slick double play! In the second inning, we took advantage of a fielding error by the Brewers, with Jack Suwinski getting on base and stealing second. Despite a solid effort, we couldn't convert it into runs, but the Brewers also couldn't crack our defense.
Third Inning: Reynolds Sets the Stage with a Huge Homer! 
The bats finally woke up in the top of the third! Bryan Reynolds blasted a two-run homer, scoring Michael A. Taylor. The Brewers responded and tied the game up in the bottom of the inning, but little did they know this was just the beginning of the Pirates’ offensive explosion!Sixth Inning: The Big Breakout Inning!
