Baseball team, the Brewers, secure victory in twelfth consecutive match against the Pirates with a powerful finish.
The Milwaukee Brewers are currently riding a 12-game winning streak, a feat they last achieved in 1987 and have now equaled in the year 2025. This impressive run is part of a longer hot stretch for the team, with 27 wins in their last 31 games and 51 wins in 67 games, marking one of the best regular-season runs in the team's 70-year history in Major League Baseball.
The 2025 streak has been marked by strong pitching performances, particularly from starter Brandon Woodruff. In the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 14, Woodruff shone once again, getting out of a two-on, two-out situation in each of the first three innings. He also managed to escape a first-and-third jam in the first inning by getting Nick Gonzales on a ground out. Woodruff's pitching was crucial in maintaining the Brewers' lead throughout the game.
The Brewers' offense was also in top form, with Bryan Reynolds homering twice and driving in all five runs for the Pirates. Reynolds' first home run, a three-run shot in the fifth, reduced the Pittsburgh Pirates' deficit to 6-3. However, the Brewers responded with four runs with two outs in the fourth, increasing their lead to 6-0. William Contreras drove in four runs for the Brewers, and Christian Yelich drove in three.
The Pirates, on the other hand, lost their fifth straight game. Mitch Keller, the Pittsburgh starter, took the loss, giving up six runs and eight hits in four innings with two walks and five strikeouts. Jared Koenig got the win for the Brewers with a scoreless inning.
The game ended with the Milwaukee Brewers defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-5. This win is a significant milestone for the Brewers, who are now tied with their 1987 record of a 13-game winning streak. The team's success is a testament to their strong pitching, effective offense, and solid fundamentals on defense.
