Brewers Extend MLB-Leading 10-Game Winning Streak Over Pirates

The Milwaukee Brewers have solidified their status as the top team in Major League Baseball with a commanding 7-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking their 10th consecutive win. This win improves their season record to 74-44 and places them six-and-a-half games ahead in the NL Central, with the team having won 25 of their last 29 games. Key performances included Brice Turang's first career leadoff home run and Christian Yelich's 22nd homer of the season, while veteran pitcher Jose Quintana delivered a strong outing allowing just one run over six innings. The Brewers have become one of only ten teams since 1969 to achieve two separate 10-game winning streaks in a single season, joining a prestigious list that includes past World Series champions. Manager Pat Murphy, a favorite for NL Manager of the Year, has been praised for maximizing the roster's talents and leading Milwaukee as a serious contender for a deep playoff run. With a powerful offense and dominant pitching, the Brewers are widely regarded as strong favorites for the 2025 World Series.
