The Milwaukee Brewers’ 11-game winning streak has come to an end.
On Tuesday night, the club lost 1-0 to the Seattle Mariners, snapping the longest active streak in the major leagues.
Milwaukee struggled for 6 1/3 innings against Logan Gilbert, striking out 10 times against the right-hander. From there, the Mariners played the matchup game before giving the ball to All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz. Despite some late traffic via two walks, Muñoz was able to secure the win. Seattle’s lone run came on Cal Raleigh’s 39th homer of the season, a sixth-inning solo shot.
While the Brewers did open the game behind All-Star starter Jacob Misiorowski, the 23-year-old only pitched 3 2/3 innings before being replaced by DL Hall. Manager Pat Murphy told reporters that the plan was for Misiorowski to throw between 55-65 pitches. He ended at 64 pitches (45 strikes).
The Brewers’ streak was the second-longest of the MLB season, following the Minnesota Twins’ 13-game stretch without a loss from May 3-17. Interestingly enough, that win streak was snapped by this very same Milwaukee club.
The longest single-season winning streak in Brewers history is 13 games, set by the 1987 squad, according to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs. But the 11-game win streak was still good enough for second-best in franchise history, tying the 2021 club.
Despite the loss, the winning streak brought the Brewers to the top of the NL standings, alongside the division rival Chicago Cubs. They are now 60-41, tied for MLB’s best record with the Cubs.
