The Milwaukee Brewers fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, 6-3, in a game that marked the loss of their second straight series and one that brings them back to the .500 mark at 13-13.

Without the services of Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio, and Andrew Vaughn, it has been difficult on the Brewers, especially from an offensive perspective.

The lack of power that would otherwise be provided by the aforementioned players has led to Milwaukee going six-straight games without a home run, its longest drought in 11 years, per MLB.com reporter, Adam McCalvy.

After the game, manager Pat Murphy provided insightful remarks concerning the state of his team.

“This is what we're all about, keeping them together,” Murphy told the media. “And going through tough times together; locking arms when you go through tough times. And yeah, there's no guarantee that we just jump right out of this.

“This might be whatever it might be, so fine,” he added. “There's no, with those three guys down, there's no embarrassment of how they competed today. I thought they were really good.”

The Brewers could only manage six hits in 34 at-bats in the loss, four of which came from Jake Bauers and Tyler Black. Other than Bauers and Black, Brice Turang notched a hit, and so did Garrett Mitchell.
