Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, July 11, 2026, 4:05 p.m. ET
The Pittsburgh Pirates are hosting the Milwaukee Brewers for the middle match of this three-game weekend set to close out the first half of the season
The Pirates will have Bubba Chandler on the mound for his final first-half start. Chandler pitched four innings, giving up six hits and four earned runs in his most recent start. While he struggled to keep runs off the board, the offense had his back. The Buccos walked away with an 11-5 win that saw them score seven runs in the final two innings.
The
Brewers are countering with left-hander Shane Drohan, who is having a strong start to his rookie season. The 27-year-old from South Florida made his debut on April 8 as a starter but moved to the bullpen for the rest of April and May. Drohan returned to the starting rotation in June, and he has won in five of his seven starts since rejoining the rotation. One of those was his last appearance against the St. Louis Cardinals on July 6. He pitched six innings, giving up six hits and three runs, as the Brewers beat the Cardinals 4-3 inside Busch Stadium.
Now, Drohan gets a taste of the Pirates, who are looking to go into the All-Star break with momentum.
