Dustin May shines on Brewers debut in 5-2 win over Pirates

The Story in Brief

Dustin May threw six innings on his Milwaukee Brewers debut as they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on Thursday. The trade-deadline acquisition from the St Louis Cardinals allowed two runs, three hits and three walks, while striking out five.

Jackson Chourio and Gary Sanchez hit solo home runs for Milwaukee, which won the final three games of the four-game series. Cooper Pratt added a sacrifice fly and scored after a double, while Brice Turang drove him in. Four Brewers pitchers held Pittsburgh to six hits. The Pirates have lost eight of their last 10 games and sit last in the National League Central.

The Indian Opinion

The easy storyline is that one strong debut has solved Milwaukee’s pitching concerns, while Pittsburgh’s latest defeat proves the season is already lost. Neither claim follows from one game. May escaped a difficult fourth inning, but he also issued three walks, and the Pirates still reached base in the ninth before a double play ended the threat. Milwaukee’s bigger test is whether its rotation can sustain this control and whether Pittsburgh can stop the slide over its next 10 games.
