In their last encounter with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Brewers experienced a tough outing, managing only two hits and failing to score any runs.

However, when they click, they've shown they can be one of the most formidable offenses in the league.


Pitching has also seen its ups and downs. In their most recent loss, despite an overall ERA of 1.0 from their bullpen indicating strong performances on the mound, it wasn't enough to secure victory due to lackluster offensive support. Conversely, during their commanding win against Pittsburgh earlier in this stretch of games, both starters and relievers combined for an impeccable shutout performance.
