Chourio and Sánchez Homer as Brewers Beat Pirates 5-2
May allowed two runs in six innings, and Milwaukee backed him with two home runs and three scoreless relief innings.
On Thursday at American Family Field, pitcher Dustin May won his Milwaukee Brewers debut, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 to secure three wins in the four-game series.
Acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday, May turned in a quality start, allowing two runs on three hits across six innings and 97 pitches.
Outfielder Jackson Chourio launched his 15th home run in the first inning, while catcher Gary Sánchez broke a 2-2 tie with a sixth-inning solo shot.
Relief pitcher Chad Patrick recorded his fifth save to preserve the victory, moving the Brewers to a 72-43 record, the best in Major League Baseball.
LHP Shane Drohan is scheduled to start Friday as Milwaukee begins a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins.
