After the Brewers destroyed the Pirates on Thursday night, it was the Pirates turn to do the clobbering on Friday. The Brewers fell behind early 6-2 and never recovered, losing to the Pirates 8-4.
Colin Rea struggled in what might be his final start for a while, with Brandon Woodruff set to return on Sunday. He only made it through four innings and allowed six runs in the first two of those innings. Five of those six runs came off of two home runs, one by Alfonso Rivas and one by Henry Davis.
The Brewers tried to keep up early.
