PITTSBURGH (AP) — Corbin Burnes carried a perfect game into the sixth inning, Christian Yelich hit his 10th home run and the Milwaukee Brewers survived a late rally to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-8. Burnes (6-5) retired the first 15 batters he faced before walking Jared Triolo leading off the sixth. A walk and a hit batter loaded the bases with two outs and Jack Suwinski ended Burnes’ shot at a no-hitter with a clean two-run single to right field. Yelich hit a three-run homer in the second off Yohan Oviedo (3-9) to break it open. Jesse Winker added a bases-clearing double in the sixth as the Brewers ended Pittsburgh’s four-game winning streak.
