Milwaukee won 12-5 in the final game of its three consecutive home games against the Pittsburgh Pirates at American Family Field on the 14th (Korea time).
Milwaukee led 6-0 until the fourth inning and lost five runs in the fifth and sixth innings by one point, and ran away 8-5 in the bottom of the sixth inning with William Contreras' two-run timely hit with one out and runners on the second and third bases, before adding four runs in the seventh inning.
Milwaukee, which marked 76 wins and 44 losses, combined for first place in both leagues. It is an overwhelming lead with six games against the Toronto Blue Jays (70 wins and 50 losses), who are ranked first in the AL.
After the game, Milwaukee coach Pat Murphy said "We're playing without being rough. I want to say this. If a line drive ball is caught, one of them is baseball, which breaks through the defense and hits. Today is a different game. I was lucky"It's hard to keep winning the major leagues. We don't make any special orders for our players. A lot of the games went the way we wanted them to go."
In other words, as they continued their 12th consecutive win, the players ran hard and followed their luck. Usually, when a winning streak continues, the coach doesn't make any special orders against the players. Leave it as it is.
Murphy took the helm of Milwaukee last year and led the team to the NL Central with 93 wins and 69 losses and was selected as the NL Coach of the Year. This season, he is aiming for No. 1 overall and the World Series. In an article predicting this year's major award categories, ESPN again pointed to Murphy as NL Coach of the Year.

Since then, Milwaukee has had 51 wins and 16 losses until the day. He marked eight straight wins, 11 straight wins and 12 straight wins, respectively. Milwaukee defeated Pittsburgh, which was started by the strongest ace Paul Skins, 14-0 the day before, becoming the 14th team to win 11 consecutive games in a season since 1900.
The two most recent examples are the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015 and the Cleveland Indians in 1954. In other words, Milwaukee is the third team in the last 72 years. It has been 90 years since the Chicago Cubs in 1935.
Milwaukee ranks first among the 30 teams with a score point difference of 159. Both home (42 wins and 20 losses) and away performances (34 wins and 24 losses) are No. 1 overall. He ranks third in the team's ERA, second in average score, first in base running, and second in the average out index. All of them are showing top-ranked performance in the offense and defense.
