Milwaukee Brewers (95-57) at Pittsburgh Pirates (75-77) — Game Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers (95-57) visit PNC Park on September 17, 2026 to face the Pittsburgh Pirates (75-77), with Milwaukee sitting atop the NL Central and Pittsburgh 20 games behind the division leader. Milwaukee’s staff carries a 3.56 team ERA on the season while Pittsburgh sits at 4.19, a gap that lines up with the twenty games separating the two clubs in the division. Jackson Chourio is hitting .288 with a .345 on-base percentage and a .485 slugging mark, giving the Brewers a well rounded bat at the top of the order who pairs everyday contact with extra-base pop.
Pittsburgh counters with Nick Gonzales, who is hitting .307 with a .370 on-base percentage and a .395 slugging mark from the third base spot, a steady presence in a lineup that has kept grinding even with the division race decided. Jake Bauers has supplied the Brewers with 26 home runs and 83 RBIs while hitting .269, and Pittsburgh’s Brandon Lowe has answered with 31 home runs and 88 RBIs of his own from the second base spot. Milwaukee will be without center fielder Garrett Mitchell, day-to-day with left neck soreness, and Pittsburgh is missing catcher Endy Rodriguez, on the 60-day injured list following hip surgery.

Players to Watch: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Milwaukee Brewers
Jackson Chourio — LF. Chourio is hitting .288 with a .345 on-base percentage and a .485 slugging mark, numbers that put him among the more well rounded hitters in Milwaukee’s lineup. He pairs everyday at bats with a knack for extra bases, and his on-base ability keeps the order turning over in front of the Brewers’ power bats.
Jake Bauers — 1B. Bauers has driven in 83 runs and launched 26 home runs while hitting .269, giving Milwaukee steady thump from the first base spot. His power numbers place him alongside Chourio as one of the two hitters carrying the Brewers’ run production into Pittsburgh.
Brice Turang — 2B. Turang has driven in 93 runs this season, adding 19 home runs and a .265 average from the second base spot. His blend of pop and RBI production has made him a fixture in the middle of Milwaukee’s order all year.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Nick Gonzales — 3B. Gonzales is hitting .307 with a .370 on-base percentage and a .395 slugging mark from the third base spot. His contact approach has been a steady presence in a Pittsburgh lineup that is well back in the NL Central race this season.
Brandon Lowe — 2B. Lowe has hit 31 home runs and driven in 88 runs while batting .260, providing the Pirates with their most consistent power threat from the second base position. His pop has kept Pittsburgh competitive on a nightly basis even as the club sits well out of postseason contention.
Bryan Reynolds — LF. Reynolds is hitting .262 with a .366 on-base percentage, 17 home runs and 71 RBIs, rounding out a Pittsburgh outfield that has produced all season even as the team’s overall record has lagged. His combination of walks and extra-base pop makes him a table setter in front of Lowe in the middle of the order.
