Pirates' base running mistake costs them scoring chance against Brewers

In Tuesday's game against the Brewers, the Pirates failed to capitalize on a scoring opportunity in the fourth inning. With one out and runners on first and second, a ground ball deflected off Brewers' third baseman David Hamilton, leading to confusion on the basepaths. Third base coach Tony Beasley held runner Nick Gonzales at third, but runner Ryan O’Hearn was caught in a rundown and thrown out. The Pirates remained scoreless until the eighth inning, ultimately losing 5-1. Beasley accepted responsibility for the blunder, while Gonzales expressed frustration but did not blame his coach.
