The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves on the wrong end of a momentum-swinging decision by an umpiring crew for a second straight day. Milwaukee thought it had tied the game in the ninth inning of a 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday night when a third strike to Jake Bauers got past Rays catcher René Pinto, enabling Sal Frelick to score from third. Bauers was ruled out and Frelick was ordered to go back to third when plate umpire Ryan Additon ruled that the hitter’s backswing hit Pinto’s helmet.
William Contreras went 3-for-4 and Sal Frelick went 2-for-4 for the visiting Milwaukee Brewers, who held on to edge the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 on Wednesday. Milwaukee, which lost the first two games of the four-game series, is 5-2 in its past seven. In the top of the third, Pirates manager Derek Shelton made a pitching change, bringing in Luis L. Ortiz after opener Josh Fleming walked Brice Turang to put runners on first and second with one out.
The Brewers racked up all three of their runs and seven of their nine hits in the first three innings as they lost two straight for the first time.
