Opening day is April 4—that’s just 87 days from now, and to celebrate that we are going to have our own countdown here at Reviewing the Brew. Whether it’s a stat, a player, a team, or even a jersey number, it’s going to come down to something pertaining to Brewer’s history. Today I am going to look at the ’87 Brewers and their red hot start of 13-0.
The ‘87 Brewers were led by Skipper Tom Trebelhorn outscoring opponents 91-53 in their 13-0 run. The 1987 season was a whirlwind Paul Molitor hit for 39 games straight captivating the imagination of Brewers Fans alike, and Juan Nieves threw the first and only no-hitter in Brewers history all while the Brewers compiled a 91-71 record to finish the season third in the AL East.
