MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-5, on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at American Family Field to secure the team's 12th consecutive victory.
With the Brewers' 12th victory, George Webb will now be giving away free hamburgers. The date will be revealed on Thursday, Aug. 14.
The 12 victories in a row and burger giveaway is something that has happened only twice since the 1940s, when the restaurant chain predicted the team would win 12 in a row. The first time it happened was April 1987 – Easter Sunday. The second time came during the 2018 season.
