Milwaukee surged to 11 straight wins with a 14-0 drubbing of Pittsburgh, powering the hottest streak in the league. Sal Frelick started the demolition with a first-inning homer, snapping Paul Skenes’ streak of 24 straight starts without a first-inning run. The offense followed with five homers, led by Brice Turang and Andrew Vaughn, who’ve combined to drive in 32 runs in August alone.

Milwaukee’s lineup isn’t the only engine; Freddy Peralta silenced the Pirates over six innings, contributing to a 3.09 ERA run by the rotation during the streak. August has seen the Brewers lead the majors in homers, OBP, and slugging, fueling a .323 team batting average that’s tied for the best in the league. A 12th straight win would tie the franchise record from 1987 and trigger a local burger promotion at George Webb diners, a nod to a rare taste of history.
