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.
