(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) PITTSBURGH (AP) — Christian Yelich homered twice and the Milwaukee Brewers breezed past the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-5 in a game interrupted by rain Thursday night. Yelich hit a three-run drive against rookie Mike Burrows (0-1) in the first inning and a solo shot off reliever Isaac Mattson in the sixth for the 11th multi-homer game of his career. Joey Ortiz added his second home run this season for the Brewers. Sal Frelick provided some breathing room with a late two-run single. Advertisement Carlos Rodriguez (1-0) struck out Bryan Reynolds with two on and two out in the sixth following a rain delay of 1 hour, 50 minutes, to earn his first major league victory. Trevor Megill came on with two on and no outs in the ninth to secure his eighth save. Milwaukee's Aaron Civale gave up two runs and four hits over four innings in his first start since going to the injured list in late March with a strained hamstring. Spencer Horwitz had two hits for the Pirates, including a solo shot to right-center leading off the fourth for his first home run since being acquired by Pittsburgh in the offseason. Horwitz added an RBI groundout in the ninth to help the Pirates avoid making a bit of unwanted history. Pittsburgh had gone 26 games without scoring at least five runs, tying the team with four others for the longest such streak of futility in MLB history. Advertisement Burrows, called up Wednesday after Pittsburgh sent struggling Carmen Mlodzinski to Triple-A Indianapolis, had some early jitters. The 25-year-old right-hander gave up four runs during his first trip through the Brewers' order before retiring nine of the final 11 batters he faced. Key moment Rodriguez surprisingly stayed on the hill after the long delay. He promptly fanned Reynolds at the end of a seven-pitch at-bat to end Pittsburgh's last legitimate threat. Key stat April 23 — the previous time Pittsburgh scored at least five runs in a game. The Pirates went 8-18 during their run of futility at the plate. Advertisement Up next The series continues Friday when Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes (3-5, 2.44 ERA) — who won't be traded anytime soon — faces Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.59). ___ AP MLB:

Rays top Brewers on Travis Jankowski's walk-off single
May 11 - Travis Jankowski connected for a walk-off RBI single to lift the Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-2 win over the visiting Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Jankowski knocked the ball into left field off Milwaukee reliever Grant Anderson (1-2), scoring Kameron Misner, who had drawn a walk and stole second. Rays reliever Pete Fairbanks (3-1) got out of a bases-loaded jam in his lone inning in the ninth to earn the win for the Rays, who claimed the series. The Brewers have lost three in a row. Milwaukee starting pitcher Tobias Myers held Tampa Bay to one hit and three baserunners (two walks) over the first three innings before the hosts broke through to take the lead in the fourth. After Jonathan Aranda led off with a single, Misner drew a one-out walk. Taylor Walls then lined a double into right field to drive in Aranda and tie it 1-1. Jankowski followed with a sacrifice fly to right-center field, scoring Misner for a 2-1 Rays advantage. With rain coming down in the top of the fifth inning, Joey Ortiz connected on a fastball, sending it into the right-field deck to tie the game at 2. It was his first home run since Sept. 20, 2024. Jackson Chourio gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead in the top of the third. With two out, Chourio launched a splitter 108 mph off the bat into the left-center field deck for his first home run since April 26. The game's start endured a half-hour delay because of inclement weather in Tampa. It was the first ever weather delay in franchise history for the Rays, who are temporarily utilizing the New York Yankees' spring training complex as their home field while the roof on their usual home, Tropicana Field, undergoes major repairs from hurricane damage. A 38-minute rain delay put the brakes on the contest in the bottom of the fifth. Tampa Bay starter Taj Bradley returned to the mound in the top of the sixth after the delay and showed no effects from the layoff, getting the Brewers out in order. --Field Level Media
