Milwaukee scratched hard-throwing Jacob Misiorowski<\/a> on Saturday because of arm fatigue. While Skenes and Misiorowski are All-Stars, both will skip pitching in Tuesday’s showcase.<\/p>\nSkenes (8-8) allowed two runs and three hits over 5 1\/3 innings with one walk and seven strikeouts \u2014 including four among his final five batters. He had been 0-6 in nine starts before beating Atlanta on Tuesday, and the Pirates lost all nine of those games.<\/p>\n
Robert Gasser (2-4) gave up seven runs and eight hits in three-plus innings.<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh (50-47) took a 4-2 lead into the fourth and scored seven runs before making an out.<\/p>\n
Marcell Ozuna homered, Henry Davis had an RBI single and Jared Koenig hit Bryan Reynolds with a pitch with the bases loaded, forced in a run by walking Esmerlyn Valdez and allowed Ryan O\u2019Hearn’s run-scoring single that boosted the advantage to 9-2.<\/p>\n
Nick Gonzales greeted Grant Anderson with a two-run double, Triolo hit a two-run single and, after a video review reversed the call at first on what appeared to be an inning-ending double-play grounder by Davis, Jake Mangum hit an RBI triple.<\/p>\n
Skenes tossed three perfect innings before giving up back-to-back doubles starting the fourth to Christian Yelich and Chourio. Gary S\u00e1nchez hit into a run-scoring forceout.<\/p>\n
Brice Turang hit a two-run homer in a three-run eighth.<\/p>\n
Brewers: Start a home series Friday against Miami.<\/p>\n
Pirates: Open a three-game series Friday at Cleveland.<\/p>\n
