Esmerlyn Valdez homered again in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, following his earlier homer in the first game, as the Pirates secured a 3-2 victory over the Brewers at PNC Park and swept both games of the twin bill. The Brewers threatened in the fifth inning, loading the bases, but Brandon Eisert induced Garrett Mitchell to ground out on a comebacker to the mound to end the inning. In the following frame, Joey Ortiz narrowly missed sending one over the fence in left-center, a home run by inches. Bryan Reynolds delivered the game-winning hit and reached base safely three times on the day, contributing significantly to the Pirates’ comeback and their ability to close out the tight win.
