A winning PNC The score of the box!

It was like two different games on Friday night at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. The Pirates (77-75) won the first half, then Mother Nature gave the Brewers a break (and a new pitcher), and Milwaukee Nine came back for an 8-3 win, placing the Bucs Homer, sixth round sixth inning.

Wild card hunters have both won, so the lead on the cards remains 3 games, and the Rockies are 4.5 games behind. But more importantly, the White Sox beat the Cubs 10-4, so Milwaukee is back in the 1.5-game National League record.

Jhoulys Chacin had another less exemplary start for the Brewers, but this time, the offensive overturned him. Chacin pulled out the first two at the bottom of the first, but Josh Bell made the first shot he saw on the right, and it was not a bargain. The Pirates lost in second and third place without scoring, but Francisco Cervelli dominated the fourth and Corey Dickerson shot a shot on the right to give the Bucs a 3-1 lead.

This Brewer race had scored first in the fourth after Ivan Nova closed them for the first three innings. Christian Yelich had the first shot of Milwaukee on a double right with a withdrawal. Jesus Aguilar was surprised in search of a strikeout and Clint Hurdle decided to walk Travis Shaw and throw his ball to Ryan Braun. Braunie responded with a shot to the right that scored Yeli, equalizing the match to one. This tie only lasted at the bottom of the sleeve.

The top of the fifth took about 2 ¹/₂ hours but the brewers have not scored. Orlando Arcia was followed by a rain of two hours and fifteen minutes. This allowed me to follow other activities for a while, caring about the state of baseball in Milwaukee. When baseball resumed, Tyler Saladino hit for Chacin, and Ivan Nova was out for Pittsburgh (phew). Saladino watched four fields of which three were strikes and sat down. Arcia took second place on a past ball, but Curtis Granderson stopped to end the run.

Edgar Santana was on the mound for the Pirates at the top of the sixth and he lasted four batters. In fact, he left during the fourth inning with a stiff forearm and a 3-0 count. Cervelli had left a little earlier with an upset stomach, so the whole battery was gone during the round. It was a reasonable decision. Santana awarded a single to Yelich, an RBI double by Aguilar, a home run for Shaw and a walk completed by Steven Brault. Brault then gave up consecutive returns to Mike Moustakas and Erik Kratz. Just like that, the Brewers were leading 7-3.

At the top of the seventh inning, Travis Shaw hit the second and reacted loudly. As there were about 25 fans in the stands, it was quite audible on TV. Travis had to say something in the dugout a few seconds later, while referee Marty Foster throws it. Marty could hear everything too. What did we usually say? Bunny ears?

Keon Broxton followed the excitement by drilling a line of action to bring Milwaukee's lead to 8-3.

The bullpen had not started for a while, so they worked tonight. Corbin Burnes succeeded Chacin at the bottom of the fifth and awarded a double, but no points, marking his sixth victory without any defeat. Josh Hader worked 1.1 rounds, eliminating three innings and one triple, but no round. Corey Knebel continued to look good while eliminating the two batters he faced, and Joakim Soria had a scoreless run with a hit, a walk and a jump. Yay!

Jeremy Jeffress did not play for a week and took 9th place, allowing the 1-2-3 Pirates to complete a big win.

With eight games to play, Zach Davies (2-6, 4.66) will win a series tomorrow night, while the Bucs face the ace of Trevor Williams (13-9, 3.16), who offered the games from last week at Miller Park.

Game notes:

• PNC Park is not a field of attack – with the exception of tonight where six players were hit (four by the crew).

• Josh Hader broke a record tonight, with the start of the expansion period (1961): he recorded 16 straight outings through the strikeout after eliminating the team in the sixth end of three games. This rope was broken with a dive on the last hitter that he faced.

• The Milwaukee feather ran five innings, allowed three hits, no runs, one walk and six kills. In fact, looking at this, it was rather a night of rest.
• The brewers started down the second with two gems on the ground. Travis Shaw made a nice save from Dickerson, giving him a good shot. Then, rookie Pablo Reyes pierced a frozen rope in the deep center left that Christian Yelich crashed. So the brewers did not miss Lorenzo Cain tonight, except the smile.
• For the second season in a row, the Brewers now have three players with 30 homers, while Shaw has joined Aguilar and Yelich. They had not done it before since 1982.

• Saladino and Eric Thames continue to make the final choice for a difficult dam training. They both wrote off (again). Maybe Tyler gets a boost by seeing another pitch; Thames fell on three. On the other hand, Saladino could probably get better results if he swayed.

• Erik Kratz was the "winner" of the Who Gets Planked medals contest Between the Shoulder Blades at the bottom of the eighth inning. Clint Hurdle's teams play the game correctly.
