Christian Yelich hit a pair of domestic runs and ended with four RBI, causing Millvoukie Breves to open a four-game series with an 8–5 win over host Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night.
Yelich’s three-run explosion in the first innings in Pirates Ruki Starter Mike Burses (0–1) set a tone for the fourth victory of Brucers in their last five matches. Beroz, who made his first career Major League Start and Season Debut, conceded four runs on four hits (two domestic runs) and scored two runs in five innings, hitting more than three times.
Yelich will distribute his second homer-1-one 415-foot, solo blast to Reliever Isaac Matton to increase the Milwauki lead 5-2 in the sixth innings in the Right Center Field.
The game delayed the bottom of the sixth for one hour and 50 minutes.
Just before the delay, the Pirates put the risk of a scoring with two outsiders when Isiah Kaneer-Felfa doubled and then scored on a double by Vanil Cruise. Brucers Ruki Carlos Rodriguez (1–0) made his season debut, and run Andrew McCchene, put a runner on the corners before stopping the game. Rodriguez returned to the mound after a delay and hit Brian Reynolds to end Pittsburgh’s threat.
Rodriguez was called from Triple-e Nashville on Thursday as expected, but did not begin. At the beginning of his season, he played 3 1/3 innings in relief, and on two strikes, conceding five hits and four runs on four walks.
Rodriguez Cruz and McCchen came out in the ninth after walking and allowed RBI to double the RBI. Trevor Megil gave relief to Rodriguez and proceeded to be three quick outdoor.
Aaron Sivale (Hamstrings), who became active from the injured list on Thursday, started and played four innings, leading to two runs and two runs on four hits, while out of three.
Spencer Horvitz led Pittsburgh with two hits, including a single home run in the fourth from Sivale.
The Pirates avoided setting a major league record, who scored four runs or less in his 27th consecutive game, when Horwitz was dropped, but went to McCchen for his fifth run in the ninth innings.
Megil remained his eighth of the season when Kebreen Hayes entered the second place.
Milwauki took the same steps after his pitcher callup, gave Pitcher Easton McGi an option for Triple-e Nashville and nominated the right-handed joel papamps for assignment.
