After sweeping the three-game series in early August, the Brewers kept the pressure on Pittsburgh. On Thursday, rookie right-hander Dustin May—acquired from St. Louis—made his Milwaukee debut, delivering a six-inning quality start that allowed two runs on three hits. The Brewers’ offense, led by solo homers from Jackson Chourio and Gary Sánchez and additional production from Brice Turang and Garrett Mitchell, secured a 5-2 victory at American Family Field. The following night, the Pirates traveled to PNC Park and fell 6-4 to the New York Mets after a rain-delayed game. Mets rookie left-hander Zac Thornton tossed five scoreless innings, and Marcus Semien’s three-run homer provided the decisive lead. The Mets' victory extended their winning streak to four games. During the fourth inning, Mets rookie outfielder Carson Benge was removed due to left wrist soreness after colliding with the outfield wall, though medical X-rays were reported as negative. Benge remains day-to-day. The back-to-back losses left Pittsburgh struggling to rebound from the earlier sweep. Overall, Milwaukee’s rotation was bolstered by May’s addition, while the Pirates’ offense failed to capitalize in the consecutive defeats.
