MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brandon Woodruff has pitched some of the most important games in Milwaukee Brewers history but even he felt a little additional pressure as he took the mound Wednesday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Not only would a victory Wednesday maintain his perfect record on the season and extend Milwaukee’s winning streak to 12 games, free hamburgers for the entire city of Milwaukee were on the line.

“I was nervous,” Woodruff said. “There was a little bit more at stake today. I wanted to win those burgers bad. Who doesn’t want a free burger?”

The Brewers beat the Pirates 12-5.
