How to watch to today’s Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates MLB game: Live stream, regional networks, team news, start time

William Contreras and the Milwaukee Brewers will square off against Oneil Cruz and the Pittsburgh Pirates at American Family Field on Monday night.

The Pirates had hopes of a dramatic walk-off on Sunday, but those dreams were dashed when Cincinnati plated five runs in the top of the ninth, effectively shutting the door on any comeback bid.

Milwaukee’s Sunday had a far different ending. After falling behind 5-1 in the fourth inning against the Mets, the Brewers clawed back to tie it late, then sealed the deal with a walk-off in the ninth. That win pushed their streak to nine straight, already their third run of at least eight consecutive victories this year.
