On Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Seattle Mariners for their 11th straight victory. During this still-active streak, the Brewers twice swept the defending-champion Los Angeles Dodgers, widely regarded as the best team in the league, and came from from four games back to take sole possession of the National League Central lead. Given those accomplishments, I got to wondering where this current Brewers streak stacks up in team history.
There are eight streaks of at least 10 wins in the history of this franchise. The most famous, by far, is the one that started the 1987 season.
