The Milwaukee Brewers can’t stop winning at the moment, and the hottest team in Major League Baseball is on the cusp of setting a team record.
The Brewers brushed the Pittsburgh Pirates aside on Wednesday, Aug. 13, claiming their 12th consecutive win with a 12-5 victory at American Family Field. The streak began back on Aug. 1 with a 16-9 win over the Washington Nationals, and since then the Brewers have claimed four straight series sweeps to get within touching distance of a team record.
This streak is Milwaukee’s second such run to extend into double digits this season, something the Brewers had only previously done eight times in their existence. Last month, Milwaukee won 11 straight, a run spanning either side of the All-Star break.
For the right kind of fan, getting to 12 straight didn’t just improve what was already the best record in baseball. Wisconsin-based restaurant chain George Webb is offering free burgers to celebrate the fact that Milwaukee has won a dozen games without slipping up. The restaurant confirmed as much on social media following Wednesday’s win, adding that the free burgers will be available on a yet-to-be-announced date:
