Pirates secure victory over Brewers in a thrilling 10th inning: Wild pitch allows Adam Frazier to score, sealing a 6-5 win for the home team.
In Pittsburgh, a tense 10-inning encounter unfolded between the Pirates and the Milwaukee Brewers, concluding with a thrilling 6-5 victory for the home team on May 24, 2025.
Adam Frazier sprinted home from third base after a wild pitch by Abner Uribe in the decisive inning, securing the win for Pittsburgh. The Pirates had previously tied the game in the same inning, with Alexander Canario delivering an RBI single off Uribe (2-1). A controversial play at the plate ensued, as Canario was called out by home plate umpire Mark Wegner, who ruled that Canario had slid outside the baseline to avoid catcher William Contreras' tag.
Frazier again found the plate three pitches later, when Uribe's 0-2 pitch to Joey Bart skipped past Contreras, allowing Frazier to score.
On the mound, Pirates ace Paul Skenes showcased another impressive performance, allowing just one run in six innings, striking out eight batters, and issuing two walks. Skenes surrendered an RBI single by Hoskins in the sixth inning but retired Sal Frelick on a grounder to maintain a 2-1 lead for Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old's strong outing earned him a standing ovation as he made his way to the dugout.
Oneil Cruz contributed two impressive home runs for the Pirates, the most significant of which came in the ninth inning, tying the game. Frazier notched three hits in the contest, while Andrew McCutchen and Bryan Reynolds each added two hits and a pair of RBIs.
For Milwaukee, Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Rhys Hoskins each posted two hits. Contreras' fifth home run of the season momentarily gave the Brewers the lead in the ninth inning.
The key moment of the game was undoubtedly Cruz's first multihomer game of his career, generating a surge of excitement among the Pirates faithful as their team recovered from a disappointing stretch.
A notable statistic from the game revealed that Pittsburgh pitchers have achieved an impressive feat, with four pitchers since 1893 managing consecutive starts of 6.0-plus innings, eight-plus strikeouts, one or zero runs, four hits or fewer, and two walks or fewer.
As the series continues, Quinn Priester (1-2, 4.6 ERA) will take the mound for the Pirates against his former team on Saturday for the first time. Mitch Keller (1-6, 3.88) will start for Pittsburgh.
