In a series of games between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Brewers secured a 5-2 victory on Thursday, highlighted by Aaron Civale's six scoreless innings and Joey Ortiz's impressive performance, falling a home run short of the cycle. Despite this, the Pirates managed a 2-1 win on Wednesday, backed by Luis Ortiz's strong seven-inning outing and Liover Peguero's two-run double. The Brewers, who have already clinched the NL Central title, are preparing for the upcoming postseason. The Pirates, although showing resilience, have had a challenging season, underscored by a 7-2 loss earlier in the week. Both teams are wrapping up their regular seasons with crucial performances from emerging and veteran players alike.
