Pirates drop series finale to Brewers 4-2

Despite a formidable effort by starter Mitch Keller, the Pittsburgh Pirates were unable to salvage the series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers, falling by a 4-2 score on Wednesday.

Keller posted his best start of the year, going 5.1 innings and allowing just four hits and one earned run while tallying seven strikeouts.

Rowdy Tellez put Milwaukee on the board in the second inning after pulling an inside pitch over the wall in right for a home run. Keston Hiura added three insurance runs in the seventh after an opposite field three-run home run off reliever Miguel Yajure.
