Brewers 10th Straight Win as Turang’s Leadoff Homer Seals Victory

The Milwaukee Brewers kept rolling with a 7-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night. That makes it ten straight victories for Milwaukee, and honestly, they looked unstoppable out there.

Brice Turang kicked things off with his first career leadoff home run, blasting one over the right-field wall. Pittsburgh looked rattled from the start, and you could just feel the momentum shift immediately.

Brice Turang’s Breakout Moment

Turang’s homer set the tone, plain and simple. For a team already playing with swagger, his bat just adds another threat to the lineup.

Setting the Tone Early

The Brewers didn’t waste that early spark. By the third inning, they were already up big—Christian Yelich smacked his 22nd homer of the year, and RBI singles from Sal Frelick and Brandon Lockridge piled on.

Pittsburgh’s Joey Bart also threw one away, letting another run cross the plate. Andrew Heaney, the Pirates’ starter, just never found a rhythm.

Jose Quintana’s Masterclass on the Mound

Jose Quintana did his thing on the mound, tossing six sharp innings. He gave up only three hits, struck out three, and walked just one—picking up his 10th win of the season.

Quintana’s command was on point, and he worked through the Pirates’ lineup with quiet efficiency. It was the kind of start Milwaukee needed to keep their streak alive.

Strategic Rotation Shuffle

Manager Pat Murphy made a smart call by swapping Quintana’s start with Freddy Peralta’s, giving Peralta a little extra rest. The Brewers want their ace fresh for the upcoming Cubs series.

Quintana stepped in and delivered, making the move look like a stroke of genius.

Shutdown Relief Effort

After Quintana left, the bullpen slammed the door. Grant Anderson took care of the seventh and eighth with two hitless innings.

Shelby Miller finished things off in the ninth, retiring the side in order. The only run Milwaukee allowed all night was Joey Bart’s solo homer in the third.

Heaney’s Tough Night

Andrew Heaney, on the other hand, just couldn’t catch a break. He gave up six runs—five earned—on nine hits in four innings, dropping to 5-10 for the year.

The difference in execution between these two pitching staffs was pretty stark.

Chase Shugart Returns, Skenes vs. Peralta Ahead

Pittsburgh did get a lift from rookie Chase Shugart, who came off the injured list and pitched three decent innings of relief. He allowed just one run on two hits, which is something for the Pirates to hang onto.

Next up, Paul Skenes (7-8, 1.94 ERA) faces Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta (13-5, 3.03 ERA). That pitching matchup could be a good one—maybe even a little tense.

Brewers’ Red-Hot Streak Continues

The Brewers have gone 25-4 in their last 29 games and 13-1 in their last 14. That’s just wild, honestly.

Timely hitting, relentless pitching, defense that barely lets anything through—it’s all clicking right now. With October looming, Milwaukee’s looking like a real threat in the playoff race.
