The Milwaukee Brewers’ impressive run of 11 consecutive victories, which led the major leagues, came to an end on Tuesday night with a 1-0 defeat against the Seattle Mariners (box score). This marked the first loss for the Brewers since July 5; in the intervening period, they achieved two series sweeps against the Los Angeles Dodgers, one against the Washington Nationals, and secured wins against both the Miami Marlins and the Mariners.
Brewers’ promising rookie, Jacob Misiorowski, recorded seven strikeouts in his 3 ⅔ scoreless innings pitched, facing 14 batters before being removed from the game, supposedly due to concerns about his workload. Misiorowski, aged 23, had pitched 89 innings prior to Tuesday’s game; for context, he pitched a career-high 97 innings in 2024. Essentially, Misiorowski is on track to set a new personal record for innings pitched in a single season with his next appearance.
Logan Gilbert, Misiorowski’s pitching counterpart, limited the Brewers to a mere two hits and struck out 10 batters over 6 ⅓ innings. The Mariners’ offense, in the meantime, provided the game’s solitary run via a home run by catcher Cal Raleigh, his 39th of the current campaign.
If the Brewers had emerged victorious on Tuesday, they would have stretched their winning streak to 12 games and had the opportunity to equal the franchise record on Wednesday. As things stand, they will have to be content with an 11-game streak, which ties the 2021 team for the second-longest in franchise history.
Here’s a breakdown of their longest winning streaks in a single season:

The Brewers began Tuesday with a record of 60-40, giving them the best record in Major League Baseball and placing them one game ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central. The Cubs were victorious against Rich Hill and the Kansas City Royals in their own game on Tuesday night, meaning the two teams are level in the standings as they head into Wednesday.
