The Brewers also took advantage of two key defensive mistakes by the Pirates, who weren't able to help Tyler Glasnow on the mound or at the plate. Right fielder John Jaso misread Thames' third-inning line drive, which sailed over his head, allowing a run to score, and second baseman Phil Gosselin booted a ground ball in the fifth, allowing Orlando Arcia to score from second base.
Glasnow pitched better than his line indicated, though it was still one of his best statistical starts of the season. The rookie right-hander allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 6 1/3 innings, his longest outing of the season.
