The Pirates couldn’t solve Milwaukee’s rotation again Tuesday night, falling 4-to-2 to the first-place Brewers at American Family Field. Jared Jones struggled through four innings, allowing eight hits and three earned runs while striking out four — a rough follow-up to a strong July that saw him post a 2.00 E-R-A over five starts. Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn both went deep for Milwaukee, and Logan Henderson picked up his sixth straight win, allowing just two runs over six innings.
Pittsburgh falls to 57-and-58 on the season, a game back of that final N-L Wild Card spot, even after adding closers Camilo Doval and Luke Weaver at the deadline to shore up the bullpen. The Bucs get right back after it Wednesday night at seven-forty Eastern, with ace Paul Skenes on the mound looking for his 10th win of the year, chasing a bounce-back start after some rocky outings against the Cubs and Reds.
