Not only did the Milwaukee Brewers rough up a Cy Young contender on Tuesday night, but they made MLB history in the process. Milwaukee beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 14-0, chasing Paul Skenes from the game after only four innings.
Skenes' gave up four runs off six hits in one of his worst outings of the season and then the Brewers tacked on 10 more runs throughout the rest of the game. The Brew Crew hit five home runs on the night.
The win was Milwaukee's 75th of the season, extending its current win streak to 11 games. And by reaching 11 games, the Brewers, who own the best record in all of baseball at 75-44, accomplished their second win steak of at least 11 games this year.
Milwaukee's latest run of dominance made the Brewers the first MLB team since the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays to record multiple win steaks of 11+ games in a season.

To truly put their 2025 season in perspective, the Brewers became just the 13th team ever to accomplish two or more win streaks of at least 11 games in a season since 1900.
So throughout the past 125 years, spanning several different eras of the sport, this year's Brewers team already has a case as one of the most dominant.

Of course, it will take finishing the job and capturing the franchise's first World Series title to truly earn the honor of being recognized as one of baseball's greatest teams.
With 75 wins in the middle of August, Milwaukee is now shooting for a team mark before worrying about making the franchise's first World Series appearance since 1982.
97 wins is the goal to become the winningest regular-season Brewers team ever, surpassing the 2018 club. Just seven years ago, that 2018 Brewers team set a new standard for the franchise in terms of a top single-season win total, going 96-67 in the regular season before falling in the National League Championship Series.
Prior to that, the only Brewers team to ever win a league championship was that 1982 squad, when they won 95 games and the AL pennant, before losing the World Series in seven games.
