Brewers Crush Pirates 12-5, Extend Historic Winning Streak to 12 Games!
The Milwaukee Brewers have been on quite the tear lately, spotlighting the baseball scene with an impressive win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 13, 2025. The final score? A resounding 12-5 in favor of the Brewers, marking their twelfth consecutive victory. William Contreras shone brightly, driving in four runs, while star outfielder Christian Yelich wasn’t far behind, contributing three RBIs to propel the Brewers’ offense further. Daily Herald reports that this game marked the second consecutive outing in which the Brewers scored in double digits, with their powerful offense racking up 26 runs over just the last two games.
How have the Brewers reached this impressive milestone? Well, they have been playing like a well-oiled machine, recording 103 runs in their first twelve games of August alone. This is a historical achievement, making them only the second team in 80 years to achieve at least 100 runs during a 12-game winning streak, following the 2004 Houston Astros who managed 109 runs. As noted in Sports Illustrated, the Brewers have taken their record to 27-4 since July 6 and now hold an impressive 8.0-game lead in the NL Central—comfortably planting them at the top of the baseball hierarchy.
A Dominant Performance
In the game against the Pirates, the Brewers unleashed a flurry of activity at bat. Bryan Reynolds attempted to keep the Pirates in the game with two significant homers—one a 3-run shot in the fifth inning and another a 2-run blast in the sixth. Yet, it was not enough to rival the Brewers‘ offensive prowess, which saw back-to-back doubles from Sal Frelick and Isaac Collins set the stage for Contreras’s electrifying two-run single in the sixth inning, a game-changer if there ever was one.
USA Today elaborates further on the winning streak, highlighting that the Brewers are just one win shy of tying their franchise record for consecutive victories, a lofty goal they aim to achieve soon. The last time they hit such a streak was in 1987 when they won 13 straight. Interestingly enough, Jen Pawol made history in the same week, becoming the first female umpire to officiate a regular season MLB game. Talk about a historic month for baseball!
Looking Ahead
As if all this excitement weren’t enough, the Brewers are gearing up for an eight-game road trip, kicking off against the Cincinnati Reds. This matchup is particularly notable as they could very well tie the franchise record for the longest winning streak. Game details are set for August 15 at 6:40 p.m. ET—be sure to mark your calendars if you’re a Brewers fan!
In an exciting twist, Wisconsin-based restaurant chain George Webb has announced they will be offering free burgers in celebration of the Brewers‘ phenomenal run. Celebrating local sports has its perks, and this is certainly one of them!
