The Pittsburgh Pirates edged out the Milwaukee Brewers in a low-scoring contest, winning 2-1 thanks to solid pitching from Luis Ortiz and key hits from players like Liover Peguero. Jake Bauers provided Milwaukee's lone offensive highlight with a home run, but it was not enough to overcome the Pirates’ strong defensive effort.

Aroldis Chapman secured the win with a strikeout in the ninth, setting a franchise record for most strikeouts by a left-handed relief pitcher in a single season.
