The Milwaukee Brewers just keep winning and winning and winning. They have won 11 games in a row — again, and we’ll get to that — after taking down the Pirates, 14-0, on Tuesday.
For their latest trick, they were tasked with facing Pirates ace and two-time All-Star Game starter Paul Skenes. He posted a 1.96 ERA as a rookie and led the majors heading into Tuesday’s game at 1.94.
The Brewers chased him after four innings, getting him for four runs on six hits. The diminutive Sal Frelick led things off with a home run to set the tone.
They wouldn’t stop there. They never do. These Brewers are relentless. William Contreras doubled home a run in the third before Brice Turang homered and a Frelick single brought in another in the fourth.
Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer in the fifth after Skenes was already gone and the rout continued with a six-run sixth, highlighted by Andrew Vaughn’s eighth home run in 27 games with the Brewers, also running his RBI total with Milwaukee to 32.
They also got a two-run homer from Caleb Durbin in the ninth.
On the mound, All-Star Freddy Peralta worked six scoreless innings, running his record to 14-5 and lowering his ERA to 2.90. He leads the majors in wins.
The Brewers are now the second team in the divisional era (1969-present) to put together two separate 11-game winning streaks in the same season. The other was the 2015 Blue Jays.
Unbelievably, these two 11-game winning streaks happened with only eight games in between. The first one was July 6-21 (wrapped around the All-Star break) and this current 11-game streak started on Aug. 1. They went 4-4 in between, meaning we can add all that up to see the Brewers have gone an absolutely mind-boggling 26-4 since July 5. They trailed the Cubs by four games in the NL Central on that date and now have a seven-game lead.
That isn’t when these Brewers started winning, of course. Their low-water mark was four games under .500. They started 0-4 and then were 21-25. They were 25-28 after a loss to the Pirates on May 24. Since then, they’ve gone 50-16.
On the season, the Brewers, now 75-44, have the best record in baseball by 5.5 games.
The longest winning streak for the Brewers in franchise history is 13, which happened to start the 1987 season. This current 11-game winning streak ties, obviously, the 11-game streak that just happened and then another 11-gamer in 2021 for the second-longest.
Also, the Brewers are now 31 games over .500. This is only the third time in club history the Brewers have been more than 30 games over .500 (they were exactly 30 over in 1979 and 2011). The franchise high is 34 games over .500 and that happened in 2021 when they finished with 95 wins. The pennant-winning 1982 Brewers topped out at 31 games over. This Brewers team is now on pace to win 102 games, which would break the club record (96, 2011 and 2018).
While there’s still plenty of work to be done, it’s reasonable to say this is the best the Brewers have ever been.

Valkyries become first expansion team in WNBA history to make playoffs in inaugural season
The Golden State Valkyries' historic debut season reached new heights on Thursday when they clinched a playoff spot with an 84-80 win over the Dallas Wings. The Valkyries are the first expansion team in WNBA history to make the playoffs in their inaugural season. When the Wings jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the opening minutes, it looked like it might not be the Valkyries' night. But as they've done all season long, the Valkyries found a way to overcome adversity. They battled back in the second half and went ahead for good on a Carla Leite bucket with 2:26 remaining. When the final buzzer sounded, streamers fell from the rafters and the team celebrated at midcourt. The Valkyries, the first expansion team to join the league since the Atlanta Dream in 2008, faced plenty of questions after their expansion […]
Caitlin Clark’s injury-plagued sophomore season was a disaster for the WNBA, the Fever and herself
Caitlin Clark's sophomore season started with a triple-double and ended with a press release. Early on Thursday evening, nearly four months after Clark walked off the floor to a standing ovation from an adoring Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd during a 35-point win over the Chicago Sky on opening day -- a sign that perhaps the Indiana Fever's goal to compete for a championship was not outlandish -- the team announced that she would not return to the court this season. Caitlin Clark injury update: Fever star out for rest of 2025 WNBA season, calls it 'incredibly frustrating' Jack Maloney "I had hoped to share a better update, but I will not be returning to play this season," Clark wrote on social media. "I spent hours in the gym every day with the singular goal of getting back out there, disappointed isn't a […]
NFL Week 1 Game Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Thursday’s game
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes PFF's fantasy football recap focuses on player usage and stats, breaking down all the vital information you need to achieve fantasy success in 2025. Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles Javonte Williams shines in his Cowboys’ debut: Dallas' first two drives both ended with touchdowns by Williams. The Cowboys spent the offseason giving their running back room a complete makeover, moving on from Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn, Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook, while bringing in free agents Williams and Miles Sanders and spending a fifth-round pick on Jaydon Blue. The Cowboys rested their starters during the preseason, which led to Williams not playing. Both Sanders and Blue dealt with injuries. They both played during the preseason, but in different games. This left us with little insight into how the running backs would rotate in the regular […]
