The Brewers' offense punched itself out early, going six innings without scoring a run until Tellez blasted a homer in the ninth off Kyle Keller, completing a three-RBI performance. With one down in the Pirates fifth, Stallings singled and Polanco drew a walk but Anderson retired Rodolfo Castro on a fly to center and reliever Cody Ponce bounced into a force at second, keeping the shutout intact. One-out singles by Ben Gamel and Jacob Stallings put runners on the corners but Tellez fielded Gregory Polanco’s sharp grounder to first and deftly started at 3-6-3 double play to snuff that threat.

In an inning-plus, Oviedo allowed five hits, three walks and eight runs (six earned) with two strikeouts. Reliever Luis Oviedo was given his first major-league start, and to say the least, it didn’t go well.
