Read

The Milwaukee Brewers extended their franchise-record winning streak to 14 games with a 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Cincinnati Reds.


The Milwaukee Brewers made history on Saturday night, extending their franchise-record winning streak to 14 games with a thrilling 6-5 extra-inning victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. The Brewers' impressive win was fueled by opportunistic hitting and defensive miscues by the Reds. Milwaukee's bullpen played a crucial role, with Trevor Megill pitching a scoreless 10th inning and Nick Mears securing his first save of the season.


Key Moments in the Game:

Tied Game in the 9th: The Brewers tied the game in the top of the ninth inning after Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz's throwing error allowed the tying run to score, sending the game into extra innings.

Game-Winner in the 11th: Pinch-hitter Andruw Monasterio launched a three-run home run in the 11th inning, breaking a 3-3 tie and proving pivotal in the Brewers' win.

Reds' Late-Inning Struggles: The Reds cut the deficit to 6-5 in the bottom of the 11th when Noelvi Marte hit a solo home run, but Milwaukee held on to clinch the win.




The Brewers' 14-game winning streak is a testament to their dominance this season, with the team surging to a 78-44 record, the best in Major League Baseball. They've now swept five consecutive series against the Washington Nationals, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Reds, winning 29 of their last 33 games.


The Cincinnati Reds managed to tie the game 3-3 in the bottom of the 10th inning, thanks to some shaky defense from the Milwaukee Brewers. A single by William Contreras was compounded by Reds left fielder Jake Fraley tripping and injuring himself while fielding the ball, allowing the Reds to level the score. The game then went into extra innings, setting the stage for a thrilling finish.




The Turning Point:

Andruw Monasterio's Homer: In the top of the 11th inning, Andruw Monasterio launched a three-run home run, just his second of the season, giving the Brewers a 6-3 lead. This dramatic turn of events would prove pivotal in the Brewers' 6-5 win over the Reds.

Reds' Late Rally: The Reds attempted to mount a comeback in the bottom of the 11th, with Noelvi Marte hitting a solo home run to cut the deficit to 6-5. However, it was too little, too late, and the Brewers held on for the win.


Andruw Monasterio's clutch three-run homer in the 11th inning sealed the Milwaukee Brewers' 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Monasterio's second home run of the season proved pivotal, giving the Brewers a 6-3 lead. The Reds attempted a comeback, scoring two runs in the bottom of the 11th, but Milwaukee's determination paid off.


This win showcases the Brewers' resilience, mirroring their impressive comeback on Friday when they overcame an 8-1 deficit to win 10-8 against the Reds.
