Pirates 6, Brewers 0: Pittsburgh Pitching Holds Milwaukee to One Hit

April 24, 2026 - Milwaukee - The Pittsburgh Pirates turned in the cleanest pitching result of the slate, beating the Milwaukee Brewers 6-0 while holding Milwaukee to one hit.

ESPN's scoreboard listed Paul Skenes and Brandon Woodruff among the key pitchers, and the final line told the story clearly enough: Pittsburgh had nine hits, Milwaukee had one, and the Brewers made two errors.

A Shutout That Needed No Extra Decoration

Some games are loud because of home runs. This one was loud because the Brewers never found a rhythm. A one-hit shutout on the road is one of the strongest statements a pitching staff can make in April.

Pittsburgh also gave the staff enough room to breathe. Six runs are more than enough when the other side cannot get traffic.
