Frelick was asked on Monday what it means to have homered off Skenes as part of his personal accomplishments, and he addressed it with a smile. “Yeah it felt great. Any time I get to hit one over the fence, I don’t care who it is, it’s pretty fun for me,” Frelick said.

The Brewers tagged Skenes for a leadoff home run Tuesday to spark a 14-0 blowout of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the process, they chased the NL Cy Young favorite after four innings.

Dominant against much of Major League Baseball this season, Pirates All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes struggled through another rough start on Tuesday night at American Family Field against the Majors’ hottest team.

The longest winning streak for the Brewers in franchise history is 13, which happened to start the 1987 season. This current 11-game winning streak ties, obviously, the 11-game streak that just happened and then another 11-gamer in 2021 for the second-longest.

Sal Frelick and Brice Turang homered off Paul Skenes, and the Milwaukee Brewers pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates 14-0 for their 11th consecutive victory.
