The team began the season at a red-hot pace, winning their first 13 games under first-year manager Tom Trebelhorn before losing 12 games in a row in May.
Other highlights included Paul Molitor's 39-game hitting streak, the seventh-longest streak in MLB history and second-longest streak post-World War Two (as of 2024),[1] and Juan Nieves tossing the first no-hitter in Brewers history on April 15 with a 7-0 blanking of the Baltimore Orioles.
