Brewers Clinch Historic 14th Straight Win, Bullpen Suffers Setback
19 Aug
Summary
- Brewers own MLB's best record at 77-44
- Seeking 14th straight win, a new franchise record
- Bullpen arm DL Hall placed on 15-day IL with oblique strain
As of August 19th, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers have firmly established themselves as the dominant force in Major League Baseball, boasting an impressive 77-44 record - the best in the league. The team is on the verge of making history, as they enter Saturday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds with a chance to secure their 14th consecutive win, which would set a new franchise record.
The Brewers' recent success has been fueled by their resilient pitching staff, which has posted a team-wide ERA of 3.63, the third-best in the majors. However, the team's dramatic 10-8 comeback win against the Reds on Friday came at a cost, as left-handed relief pitcher DL Hall suffered a right oblique strain during the outing.
Early on Saturday, the Brewers announced that Hall would be placed on the 15-day injured list, dealing a blow to their bullpen depth. The 26-year-old had been a reliable long relief option, posting a 3.35 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 19 appearances this season. Despite the setback, the Brewers remain firmly in control of the NL Central, holding a nine-game lead as they look to capture their fourth division title in five years.
