This is getting special. The Milwaukee Brewers just keep finding ways to win, and Wednesday's 6-0 masterclass against the Seattle Mariners was a perfect encapsulation of this incredible run. It's now twelve straight victories for the Crew, pushing their record to a stellar 61-40 and cementing their status as one of baseball's elite. This isn't just a hot streak; it's a statement.
Brandon Woodruff was simply untouchable: 6 dominant innings, 2 hits, 0 walks, and just 62 pitches.
For five innings, the game was a tense pitcher's duel, with Mariners starter George Kirby carrying a no-hitter. But Brandon Woodruff was even better. Woody was the definition of efficiency, carving through the Seattle lineup on just 62 pitches over six shutout innings. The stalemate finally broke in the top of the sixth. Joey Ortiz played hero, singling to break up the no-no and extend his own hitting streak to seven games. A Bryce Turang double set the stage, and the floodgates opened. William Contreras drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly, veteran Christian Yelich extended his on-base streak to 27 games with an RBI single, and rookies Isaac Collins and Jackson Chourio followed with RBI hits of their own. It was a five-run outburst that showed just how quickly this offense can strike.
The sixth-inning rally was a perfect snapshot of the 2025 Brewers: a blend of veteran leadership and fearless youth. While Yelich provided his steady presence, it was the young guns—Ortiz, Turang, Collins, and Chourio—who ignited the offense. This youth movement is the story of the season, headlined by All-Star rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski. After graduating from top prospect to rotation anchor, Misiorowski (4-1, 2.81 ERA) has been a revelation. His success, alongside the daily contributions from the other rookies, proves that the Brewers' future has officially arrived.
How does a team graduate two cornerstone rookies like Jackson Chourio and Jacob Misiorowski and still have one of the best farm systems in baseball? That's the magic of the Brewers' player development pipeline. The system remains loaded with six consensus top-100 prospects, including four in the top 40. With names like Jesús Made, Luis Peña, Cooper Pratt, and Jeferson Quero waiting in the wings, the talent well is far from dry. This sustained excellence is no accident; it's the foundation upon which this current 12-game winning streak is built.
Twelve wins in a row is historic, but this team isn't looking back. All eyes now turn to the next game, where rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski takes the hill with a chance to make it a baker's dozen. Facing a tough opponent in Logan Gilbert, it's another test for this young, fearless Brewers squad. Can they keep the magic going? You won't want to miss it.
