Brewers Extend Winning Streak to Seven with 8-1 Win Over Nationals

The Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to seven games with an 8-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on July 13, powered by Jackson Chourio's 16th home run and three RBIs. Freddy Peralta delivered a strong pitching performance, allowing one run over 6 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts, contributing to the Brewers' dominant outing. Earlier, the Brewers secured a 6-5 comeback win against the Nationals on July 12, capped by Caleb Durbin's RBI single in the ninth inning, marking their sixth consecutive victory. Andrew Vaughn, recently acquired and called up, has been a key offensive contributor, tallying 10 RBIs in his first five games with Milwaukee. The Nationals have struggled despite standout performances from Brady House and others, and starting pitcher Jake Irvin has faced challenges holding the Brewers’ offense in check. The Brewers, now just a game behind the NL Central leader, have been performing exceptionally well since June 1, with strong pitching and timely hitting fueling their surge.
