Milwaukee Brewers Rally Past Cincinnati Reds for Record-Tying 13th Straight Win

The Milwaukee Brewers delivered an incredible comeback to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8, tying a franchise record with their 13th consecutive victory. Christian Yelich stood out as the driving force, smashing two home runs among his four hits and collecting five RBIs, leading the charge after the Brewers found themselves down by seven runs.

Brewers Overcome Seven-Run Deficit

The game took a dramatic turn in the seventh inning when the Reds chased Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, making his first start since July 28. Cincinnati launched a seven-run rally to take an 8-1 lead, seemingly breaking the game open.

Yelich got Milwaukee on the scoreboard with a solo homer in the second inning against Reds starter Nick Martinez. In the third, Yelich doubled for his second hit, setting the stage for Andrew Vaughn’s three-run homer (his 14th of the season) and Brice Turang's RBI double. This explosive sequence narrowed the deficit to 8-6.

The Brewers continued their relentless pursuit, tying the game 8-8 in the fourth inning on Yelich’s two-run single. In the sixth, Yelich struck again, slugging his 26th home run—a solo shot off reliever Scott Barlow—to give Milwaukee their first lead of the night.

Key Contributions and Clutch Relief Pitching

Brandon Lockridge contributed three hits, including a crucial double in the seventh. He later scored an insurance run on a wild pitch, cushioning the Brewers’ lead. Misiorowski, newly off the injured list, struggled, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks in just 1 1/3 innings.

Despite the early trouble, the Brewers’ bullpen stepped up, with Nick Mears tossing a scoreless fifth inning and Trevor Megill recording his 29th save after striking out two batters in the ninth. Six Brewers relievers combined to retire the final 23 Reds in order, sealing the dramatic comeback.
