The Pittsburgh Pirates had the unfortunate task of playing a red-hot Milwaukee Brewers side on Tuesday night. Sending Paul Skenes out to the mound did little to provide resistance as things quickly got out of control in the home team's favor. When the dust settled, the Brewers had a 14-0 win and their second 11-game winning streak in the span of 38 days.

Pirates manager Don Kelly wasn't around to see anything past the top of the fifth inning, which may have been a blessing. He was dismissed from the proceedings after arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz.
