StatPro MLB Beat Reporter
This isn't just a hot streak anymore; it's a historic run. The Milwaukee Brewers etched their names in the franchise record books on Wednesday night, securing their 70th victory of the season in just 114 games—the fastest pace ever for the club. The record-setting win, a tense 5-4 nail-biter against the formidable Atlanta Braves, also marked their sixth consecutive victory and pushed them a staggering 26 games above .500.
Over his last 12 games, Andrew Vaughn is batting a scorching .435 with five home runs and 16 RBIs, raising his season average from .204 to .240.
It was a classic battle at American Family Field, with the Brewers needing every bit of their newfound swagger to hold off Atlanta. The offense was sparked by the unexpected and the unstoppable. Blake Perkins delivered a huge night, doubling and launching a crucial two-out homer in the fifth inning. But the man of the hour, yet again, was Andrew Vaughn. He continued his torrid stretch with another homer and a key RBI groundout, providing the offensive punch that has defined this winning streak. The win pushes the Brewers to 70-44, a mark they haven't been this far above .500 since the 2021 season.
What can you even say about Andrew Vaughn at this point? The first baseman extended his career-best hitting streak to 12 games, and it's been the most impactful streak imaginable. Once struggling to stay above the Mendoza Line, Vaughn has completely transformed the Brewers' lineup. During this 12-game tear, he's hitting a mind-boggling .435 with 5 homers and 16 RBIs, single-handedly carrying the offense at times and providing the middle-of-the-order threat the team desperately needed. His turnaround from a .204 hitter to a .240 hitter in less than two weeks is the stuff of legend and a primary reason this team is reaching historic heights.
On the mound, veteran Jose Quintana did his job, grinding through six innings to earn his ninth win. He allowed three runs and struck out seven, giving the Brewers the quality start they needed to stay in front. The bullpen bridge was solid, with Jared Koenig and Abner Uribe providing scoreless innings to get the ball to the closer. Trevor Megill made things interesting in the ninth, surrendering a solo shot to Michael Harris II, but he slammed the door shut for his 26th save of the season, securing the win and the record.
The Crew won't have long to celebrate their historic achievement. After a day off, they welcome the New York Mets to town for a weekend series. And the opener is a must-see event, as the team announced a marquee pitching matchup for Friday night: our own Brandon Woodruff (3-0, 2.22 ERA) will face off against Mets ace Kodai Senga (7-3, 2.31 ERA). Can the winning streak continue against one of the league's best? Get ready for another electric weekend of Brewers baseball.
