Brewers Crush Pirates 10-2; Milwaukee’s Offense Explodes

The Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up a dominant weekend, sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 10-2 win on Sunday. Andrew Vaughn exploded at the plate, and rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski delivered a strong start as Milwaukee kept rolling.

For the Pirates, it was a rough afternoon. Rookie Bubba Chandler’s debut start unraveled fast and put the game out of reach early.

Brewers’ Offense Fires on All Cylinders

The Brewers wasted no time making noise. They strung together a flurry of hits, chasing Chandler before the third inning even ended.

Andrew Vaughn led the way, racking up four hits—three singles and a double—for his first four-hit game since August 2024. He kept finding ways to move runners and spark the offense, and the rest of the lineup followed suit.

Early Innings Provide Knockout Blow

Milwaukee struck in the first inning. Jake Bauers ripped a two-run double to right, and Vaughn added an RBI single, giving the Brewers a 3-0 jump before Chandler could settle in.

The second inning brought more of the same. Danny Jansen opened with a double, then scored on a wild pitch, stretching the lead to four.

Things really unraveled for Pittsburgh in the third. A controversial replay overturned an inning-ending double play, and Brice Turang immediately singled in two more runs.

That capped a five-run inning, and by the time Chandler exited, the Brewers had hung nine runs on him in less than three innings.

Jacob Misiorowski Continues to Impress

While Milwaukee’s bats kept rolling, rookie Jacob Misiorowski took care of business on the mound. He gave up just one run and three hits over seven innings, striking out eight along the way.

He never really looked rattled. With the win, Misiorowski moved to 5-2, and honestly, he’s looking like one of the most exciting young arms in the league right now.

Limiting Damage and Staying Composed

The only real trouble came in the second, when Liover Peguero knocked in a run for Pittsburgh. Misiorowski shrugged it off, retiring the next several batters with a mix of fastballs and breaking stuff.

His poise just stands out, especially for a rookie. He’s got a knack for escaping jams that you don’t see every day.

Pirates’ Rookie Struggles Under Pressure

Bubba Chandler had a debut to forget. Over 2 2/3 innings, he allowed nine runs on nine hits and three walks, sending his ERA soaring from 2.25 to 7.36.

He’s now given up 12 runs in his last 6 2/3 innings. Honestly, the jump to the majors is looking pretty steep for him right now.

Late Consolation Efforts Fall Short

Pittsburgh’s bats never really woke up outside of Peguero’s early RBI. In the eighth, Cam Devanney came off the bench for a pinch-hit RBI double, but the game was long gone by then.

The Pirates just couldn’t claw back from Milwaukee’s early barrage. Sometimes, that’s baseball.

Key Takeaways from the Brewers’ Sweep

This win sealed a three-game sweep. It also showed Milwaukee can mix explosive hitting with sharp pitching—a combo they’ll need later.

• Andrew Vaughn’s resurgence: He finally put together his first four-hit game of the season.
• Jacob Misiorowski’s dominance: He really shut down a division rival, making his rookie-of-the-year case even stronger.
• Early offensive efficiency: The Brewers wasted no time, putting the Pirates behind almost immediately.
• Defensive and situational awareness: They jumped on a replay reversal and used it to blow the game open.

For Milwaukee fans, this was the kind of win that just feels good. It’s the sort that builds real confidence before bigger challenges.

The Pirates, on the other hand, left the weekend with more questions about their young pitching and whether they can handle strong lineups. The Brewers look dangerous right now, especially if their mix of veterans and new faces keeps clicking.
