Brewers Extend Win Streak to 13 with Epic Comeback Victory
BREAKING: The Milwaukee Brewers have achieved a historic milestone, extending their win streak to 13 games after an incredible comeback against the Cincinnati Reds, overcoming a staggering seven-run deficit to secure a 10-8 victory Friday night.
In a game that will be remembered for its dramatic twists, Christian Yelich was the standout star, smashing two home runs and driving in five runs. His performance has solidified the Brewers’ place in history, as they became the first team in 94 years to maintain a double-digit win streak with a comeback of this magnitude, according to ESPN Research.
The action unfolded quickly at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, where the Reds jumped to an early lead, scoring seven runs in the second inning. The Brewers found themselves trailing 8-1 after a tough inning for rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who was making his first start since July 28. Misiorowski struggled early, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks before being pulled.
However, Yelich ignited the Brewers’ rally, leading off the second with a homer against Reds pitcher Nick Martinez. He followed with an RBI double in the third, and after Andrew Vaughn hit a three-run homer, the Brewers closed the gap to 8-6. Yelich then tied the game with a two-run single in the fourth, before hitting his 26th career home run in the sixth inning, which put the Brewers in the lead.
The emotional weight of Yelich’s performance was evident as he honored the late Bob Uecker with a specially marked bat, featuring Uecker’s iconic home run call. This marks Yelich’s third career game with four hits and two home runs, tying him with franchise legends Ryan Braun and Willy Adames for the most such games in team history.
Despite the early struggles, the Brewers’ bullpen was dominant, with six relievers combining to retire the final 23 Reds batters in order. Nick Mears earned the win, while Trevor Megill secured his 29th save, striking out two in the ninth inning.
With this win, the Brewers not only tie their club record for consecutive victories but also demonstrate their resilience and determination as they head into the crucial final stretch of the season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Milwaukee can continue this remarkable run.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Brewers look to extend their win streak in upcoming games.
