Misiorowski anchored the performance with a sharp start, allowing no earned runs while striking out seven. Milwaukee's pitching kept Pittsburgh quiet until Brandon Lowe homered in the eighth.
Jake Bauers scored on Luis Lara's sacrifice fly in the second, giving Milwaukee the lead. The Brewers expanded it in the sixth when Brice Turang scored after Christian Yelich's walk and a wild pitch by Gregory Soto. William Contreras then scored on Lara's double, before Joey Ortiz's single brought home Christian Yelich and Luis Lara.
Pittsburgh's offense found little rhythm against Milwaukee's pitching. Lowe's homer was the only scoring play for the Pirates, while Lake Bachar took the loss after allowing Milwaukee's opening run.
Milwaukee extended its winning streak with a composed, pitching-led performance. The Brewers' control on the mound made the early lead stand.
