Dustin May made a successful first impression with the Milwaukee Brewers, pitching six innings in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. According to one outlet, May allowed three hits and two earned runs while striking out five and walking three, throwing 97 pitches with 59 strikes.
The Brewers' offense supported May's effort with home runs from Gary Sánchez and Jackson Chourio. Sánchez hit a two-run homer, while Chourio added a solo shot. ESPN reported that May won the game, while other outlets highlighted the quality of his debut performance despite describing it as "gritty" rather than dominant—a slight difference in tone across the reporting.
