Burger Giveaway by Brewers Instead of Pirates
Milwaukee Brewers Extend Winning Streak, Aiming for Postseason Success
The Milwaukee Brewers have been on a roll, extending their winning streak to 12 games, a feat achieved only three times in the franchise's 70-year history. This remarkable run, which began with a dramatic comeback in Pittsburgh, has contributed to the best regular season stretch in the team's history[1][3].
The Brewers' current form has catapulted them to the top of the MLB, making a Fall Classic appearance a distinct possibility. With 70 wins under their belt, they currently boast more victories than any other team[3].
The team's success has not gone unnoticed by the local community. George Webb, a renowned Milwaukee restaurant chain, has promised to give away free hamburgers if the Brewers win 12 consecutive games. This tradition, which began during the days of the old minor league Brewers, continues to be a cherished part of Milwaukee’s baseball culture[2].
Mitch Keller, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, will start Wednesday's afternoon tilt against the Brewers. Keller, who is having a career-best season, has plenty of experience against the Brewers[4]. However, the Brewers' form suggests that they are a force to be reckoned with.
The Brewers' offense was excellent in Tuesday's 14-0 rout against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sal Frelick hit a leadoff home run, and Christian Yelich, Andrew Vaughn, Brice Turang, and Caleb Durbin also contributed with home runs[5].
Freddy Peralta is ready to lead a deep starting staff for the Brewers, aiming to mount a long postseason run and get back to the World Series. The Brewers' NL Central lead is now seven and a half games over the Chicago Cubs. A win in Wednesday's matchup would extend their streak to 13 games and further solidify their position atop the division.
