Brandon Woodruff delivered a stellar performance on the mound as the Milwaukee Brewers claimed their 11th consecutive victory, blanking the Seattle Mariners 6-0 on Monday night. Woodruff, who spent the entire 2024 season recovering from shoulder surgery, showcased his skills in just 62 pitches, allowing only two singles while issuing no walks through six innings.
The game began as a pitching duel, with Mariners starter George Kirby holding a no-hitter until the sixth inning. However, the Brewers exploded for four runs in that inning, decisively shifting the momentum. The pivotal moment came when Joey Ortiz’s single broke Kirby’s no-hit bid, setting off a rally that saw William Contreras contribute the first run with a sacrifice fly, followed by RBI singles from Christian Yelich and Isaac Collins, and a double by Jackson Chourio.
Milwaukee’s win marked a significant milestone, bringing their season record to 60-40, joining the Detroit Tigers as the only teams to reach 60 wins this season. They are now just two victories shy of matching the Minnesota Twins’ record for the longest winning streak in Major League Baseball this year, which stands at 13 consecutive wins.
In the upcoming matchup, Brewers All-Star rookie Jacob Misiorowski will take the mound against Logan Gilbert of the Mariners, as Milwaukee aims to continue their impressive streak.
This remarkable run by the Brewers highlights their potential as serious contenders this season, and the return of a healthy Woodruff adds a critical dynamic to their pitching rotation. With each game, they are building momentum and showcasing their resilience in the tightly contested league.
