The Brewers won their 12th straight game Wednesday afternoon when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-5 at American Family Field. That triggered a promotion that has been around in Milwaukee since the 1940s and earned local residents a free burger from George Webb.

With Blake Perkins on second after a walk and a steal, Ortiz, who entered the day batting .372 with seven doubles and a .948 OPS in 11 August games, got the bat head out on a two-strike sweeper and smoked it at 105.4 mph through the left side of the infield to drive in his 10th run of the month.

Milwaukee is the first team with multiple winning streaks of at least 11 games in a season since the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays and the first National League team to accomplish the feat since the 1935 Chicago Cubs.
