PITTSBURGH - Adam Frazier sprinted home from third on a wild pitch by Abner Uribe in the 10th inning to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates past the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 on Friday night.

By the numbers:

The Pirates tied it on an RBI single by Alexander Canario off Uribe (2-1) earlier in the inning. Canario had a chance to win it on a single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, but was called out at the plate when home plate umpire Mark Wegner ruled Canario had slid outside the baseline to avoid catcher William Contreras' tag.

Frazier scored three pitches later when Uribe's 0-2 pitch to Joey Bart skipped past Contreras to the backstop.

Pittsburgh ace Paul Skenes put together another excellent performance, allowing one run in six innings with two walks and eight strikeouts. He gave up an RBI single by Hoskins in the sixth but retired Sal Frelick on a grounder to end the inning. The 22-year-old received a standing ovation while making his way to the dugout with the Pirates up 2-1.

Dig deeper:

Cruz's first multihomer game of his career brought a crowd to its feet and gave the Pirates a needed jolt during a miserable stretch.

Four Pittsburgh pitchers since 1893 have had consecutive starts of 6.0-plus innings, eight-plus strikeouts, one or zero runs, four hits or fewer and two walks or fewer.

What's next:

Quinn Priester (1-2, 4.6 ERA), a first-round pick by the Pirates in 2019, starts against his former team for the first time on Saturday. Mitch Keller (1-6, 3.88) gets the nod for Pittsburgh.
