MILWAUKEE — Whenever the Pirates inevitably review what went right or wrong during Friday’s series opener in Milwaukee, here’s guessing starter Rich Hill won’t need more than a millisecond to figure out the problem.
It was the walks. Four in the first inning, six total for Hill, his most since 2017.
Although the Pirates made a late charge, trimming the Brewers’ deficit to one, they ultimately suffered another loss, this time by a 5-4 score at American Family Field. Pittsburgh has now lost four in a row and five of its last six.
