The Milwaukee Brewers continued their impressive form by completing a commanding three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. After a staggering 14-0 win on Tuesday, Milwaukee closed out the series with a 12-5 victory over the Pirates, reinforcing their status as one of the hottest teams in baseball right now. Bryan Reynolds, despite his strong individual performance, acknowledged the Brewers’ dominance throughout the series.

Strong Offensive Performance and Challenges on the Mound

Though the Pirates attempted a comeback, narrowing a six-run deficit to just one run thanks to Reynolds’ back-to-back multi-RBI home runs in the fifth and sixth innings, Milwaukee’s offense remained too overwhelming. Brandon Woodruff had a reliable start for the Brewers, pitching four scoreless innings. However, the bullpen faced difficulties as Shelby Miller and Nick Mears gave up five earned runs. Jared Koenig and Tobias Myers then combined efforts to shut down the Pirates for the remainder of the game, securing the Brewers’ 76th win of the season.

“I don’t think anybody wants to play this team right now,”

and added,

“We just ran into that. They’re a great team.”
