MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn homered, Logan Henderson allowed two runs in six innings to win his sixth consecutive decision, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Henderson (6-1), whose only loss was in early May, allowed four hits, including two solo homers, struck out eight and walked one.

Antonio Senzatela, acquired from the Rockies on Monday, tossed a scoreless seventh with the aid of a double play. Abner Uribe stranded runners on the corners in the eighth and Trevor Megill closed with a perfect ninth for his 19th save in 21 opportunities.

The NL Central-leading Brewers, who earned their major league-high 70th victory, won for just the second time in eight games this season against Pittsburgh.

The Brewers scored two runs in the fourth off Jared Jones (2-3) to go in front 3-1. Vaughn opened the inning with his fifth homer. Cooper Pratt singled with one out and David Hamilton beat out a bunt single. Chourio’s single scored Pratt.

Endy Rodriguez opened the fifth with his sixth homer to pull Pittsburgh within 3-2.

Milwaukee countered in the bottom half on Luis Lara’s RBI single off Wilber Dotel, who relieved to open the inning.

Jacob Gonzalez opened the third with his fifth homer, sending the first pitch 401 feet to right-center to put the Pirates up 1-0.

Chourio answered in the bottom half with his 14th home run, a one-out solo shot to right-center for his first homer since July 4.

Kirby Yates, acquired Monday from the Angels, tossed a scoreless ninth for Pittsburgh.

Pirates manager Don Kelly was ejected in the fifth inning by home plate umpire James Hoye, Kelly’s sixth ejection of the season, most in the majors.

(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Pirates traded for some right-handed relief pitchers yesterday to help their bullpen before the 2026 MLB trade deadline expired at 6 p.m.

The Pirates acquired Luke Weaver from the New York Mets in exchange for twenty-one-year-old shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura.

The thirty-two-year-old Weaver is 2-1 with a 1.84 ERA in 42 appearances for the Mets this season.

The Pirates also acquired Kirby Yates from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for Double-A right-handed pitcher Kyle Robinson.

The thirty-nine-year-old Yates is 0-5 with a 3.95 ERA in 31 appearances with the Angels this season.

The Pirates also acquired Lake Bachar from the Miami Marlins in exchange for twenty-five-year-old right-handed relief pitcher Brandon Bidois, twenty-two-year-old High-A outfielder Brian Sanchez and eighteen-year-old Florida Complex League infielder Hyun Seung Lee.

The thirty-one-year-old Bachar is 1-2 with a 3.84 ERA in 38 appearances with the Marlins this season. 

The Pirates also recently traded right-handed relief pitcher Hunter Stratton to the San Diego Padres for prospect pitcher Andrew Moore.

Moore was designated to Triple-A Indianapolis as a reult of this move and the 26-year-old posted a combined 3.46 ERA, 62 strikeouts and a .160 batting average across his 30 minor league appearances which were split between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso this season.

(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Pirates placed right-handed starting pitcher Mitch Keller on the 60-day injured list yesterday with a teres major muscle injury to his throwing arm.

This move effectively ends the 2026 season for Keller, because he would be ineligible to come off the injured list until after the Pirates’ regular-season finale on September 27th.

The thirty-year-old Keller is 6-8 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 22 starts for the Pirates this season and is the team’s longest tenured player.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Spencer Horwitz hit a three-run double and the Pittsburgh Pirates extended their dominance over the Brewers this season, beating Milwaukee 4-3 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series.

Pittsburgh has won six of seven games against the NL Central-leading Brewers this season.

The Pirates jumped on Brewers starter Brandon Sproat (3-7) in the third. Brandon Lowe and Bryan Reynolds singled and Esmerlyn Valdez walked. Horwitz followed with a bases-clearing double that staked Pittsburgh to a 3-0 lead.

The Pirates added a run in the fourth when Endy Rodriguez led off with a single and moved to third on consecutive wild pitches by Sproat, who was then replaced by Garrett Stallings, with Jacob Gonzalez still at-bat. Stallings eventually struck out Gonzalez before walking Henry Davis and giving up a soft bunt single to Jake Mangum that scored Rodriguez.

Pirates starter Bubba Chandler (4-8) held the Brewers without a hit until David Hamilton’s single up the middle with two outs in the fifth. Joey Ortiz followed with another base hit that drove in Jake Bauers, who had walked leading off the inning.

The Brewers cut the lead to 4-3 in the sixth, with one run scoring on Andrew Vaughn’s single and another on a throwing error, after which Chandler was lifted.

Mason Montgomery pitched a scoreless ninth for his third save in five tries.

Chandler allowed four hits and three runs (two earned) in 5 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out five.

Sproat gave up five hits and four runs in three innings. He struck out four, walked two and threw three wild pitches.

Before the game, the Pirates placed right-handed pitcher Mitch Keller on the 60-day injured list and recalled left-handed pitcher Brandon Eisesrt from Triple-A Indianapolis. Also, the Brewers designated RHP Carlos Rodriguez for assignment.

(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Pirates activated first baseman Spencer Horwitz from the 10-day injured list yesterday and he returned to play that day for the team’s game against the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati. 

Horwitz was placed on the injured list on June 25th because of a left hamstring strain and was diagnosed with a concussion on July 28th after being hit in the helmet by a pitch during his rehab assignment.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates are acquiring right-handed reliever Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees in hopes of giving their struggling bullpen a boost.

Pittsburgh is sending prospects Omar Alfonso, a catcher, and Luis Cruz, an outfielder, to New York for Doval.

The 29-year-old Doval, an All-Star in 2023 when he served as the closer for the San Francisco Giants, provides Pittsburgh with a much-needed experienced arm as the Pirates try to hang around in the crowded race for a National League wild-card spot.

Pittsburgh’s bullpen has been an issue all season. The club has blown 20 saves this season, perhaps the biggest reason the Pirates entered Saturday at 55-56 despite scoring the second-most runs in the majors. The latest setback came on Friday night, when a two-run lead in the eighth inning in Cincinnati morphed into an 8-7 loss.

Doval went 3-1 with a 4.54 ERA in 44 games this season for the Yankees. He has had issues with walks recently, issuing at least one free pass in four of his last five appearances with New York, including two while taking the loss against the Chicago White Sox on July 29. Doval has only thrown 56% of his first pitches for strikes this season, among the worst first-strike percentages in the majors.

The durable Doval is one of only eight pitchers to appear in at least 60 games in each of the last four seasons.

Pittsburgh is hoping a new setting provides a fresh start. The Pirates could also use the help. The club designated former closer Dennis Santana for assignment last month and has few viable right-handed options near the back end of the bullpen.

O’Hearn pulled up and grabbed his left leg while running to first base on a groundout in the ninth inning on Friday night’s 8-7 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. He was helped off the field by manager Don Kelly and a member of the training staff.

The Pirates signed O’Hearn to a two-year, $29 million free-agent contract in January. He is batting .270 with 17 home runs and 69 RBIs in 96 games. He missed two weeks in May with a right quad injury.

O’Hearn has made 49 appearances at first base, 42 in right field, and 17 as the designated hitter. He homered three times and set a Pirates single-game franchise record with 10 RBIs against the Braves on July 7.

In other moves, the Pirates recalled right-hander Isaac Mattson from Triple-A Indianapolis, activated catcher/first baseman Rafael Flores Jr. from the IL and optioned right-hander Antwone Kelly to Triple-A.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Chase Burns won his 12th straight decision and Sal Stewart hit his 24th home run as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-2 on Sunday to take three of four in the series.

Stewart tied Joey Votto for second-most homers by a Reds rookie. Votto hit 24 in 2008. Frank Robinson holds the franchise’s rookie mark with 38 homers in 1956.

Burns (13-1) is the first Reds pitcher to win 12 straight decisions since Brooks Lawrence won 13 straight in 1956.

Burns allowed one run on two hits with two walks and nine strikeouts in six innings and lowered his ERA to 2.35. It was Burns’ 17th start allowing two runs or fewer.

The game was delayed 25 minutes in the fourth while the grounds crew applied drying compound on the infield and batter’s box. Despite steady rainfall, the tarp was never brought out. Pirates manager Don Kelly was ejected after voicing his displeasure.

Pirates starter Mitch Keller (6-8) allowed three runs on four straight hits in the first inning.

Stewart’s homer into the second deck of the bleachers in left field put the Reds ahead 1-0.

JJ Bleday followed with a single and scored on a double by Tyler Stephenson, who then came home on Nathaniel Lowe’s single to make it 3-0.

Former Pirate Ke’Bryan Hayes hit a homer to make the score 4-0 in the second.

Elly De La Cruz’s third-inning single off Noah Murdock drove in two runs to make the score 7-0. Keller allowed seven earned runs and walked four in two innings.

Consecutive RBI doubles by Lowe and Dane Myers off Ron Marinaccio made the score 9-1 in the fourth.

Right-hander Camilo Doval, acquired on Saturday from the Yankees, made his Pirates debut in the eighth inning and allowed an opposite-field home run by Stephenson.

Up next

Pirates: RHP Bubba Chandler (3-8, 4.56 ERA) scheduled to start Monday at Milwaukee.

Reds: RHP Brady Singer (5-10, 4.35) scheduled to start Tuesday against Oakland.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Braxton Ashcraft gave up two hits over five innings, while a pair of bases-loaded walks during a three-run third helped the Pittsburgh Pirates snap a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.

Steady rain was falling in the third inning when Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott issued four walks including two with the bases loaded to Brandon Lowe and Esmerlyn Valdez to help the Pirates take a 2-0 lead.

The game was delayed one hour and 46 minutes by rain during the sixth inning.

Abbott threw 43 pitches in the third. Following his walk to Reynolds, Abbott had the grounds crew apply drying compound to the mound. His foot slipped on two of his deliveries to Valdez.

Abbott (5-7) allowed three earned runs on three hits with five walks and one strikeout on 98 pitches.

Ashcraft (11-4) retired the first eight batters and didn’t allow a hit until Nathaniel Lowe’s single with one out in the fourth.

Reds catcher Jose Trevino hit his fourth home run of the season to make the score 3-1 in the fifth. That was the only run allowed by Ashcraft, who had a walk and five strikeouts.

Marcell Ozuna doubled and scored on Henry Davis’ single to extend the Pirates’ lead to 4-1 in the sixth shortly before the game was delayed.

Carmen Mlodzinski replaced Ashcraft following the rain delay and pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit with a walk and four strikeouts.

Gregory Soto pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to earn his 14th save.
