UPDATE: The Milwaukee Brewers have made history by clinching their franchise-record 14th consecutive victory with a thrilling 6-5 win against the Cincinnati Reds in extra innings on July 15, 2023. This remarkable win streak is not only the longest in the MLB this season but also marks the first time since the Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners achieved a similar feat in 2022.
This latest victory showcases the Brewers’ resilience, as they staged yet another comeback, their eighth during this historic run. Among the 24 teams that have won 14 games in a row over the past 80 seasons, the Brewers stand out as just the third team to achieve at least eight comeback wins in that span.
The tension peaked in the 11th inning when Andruw Monasterio launched a pivotal three-run home run, propelling the Brewers to victory. The Reds fought back, with Elly De La Cruz scoring on a sacrifice fly and Noelvi Marte hitting a solo home run, narrowing the score to just one run. However, the Brewers’ defense held strong as Matt McLain hit deep to center field, only to be caught by Brandon Lockridge for the final out.
The Reds, facing their 13th consecutive series loss to the Brewers, struggled on the mound with lefty Joe La Sorsa (0-1) allowing three runs and three hits. On the Brewers’ side, Trevor Megill (4-2) managed to contain the Reds, permitting just one run and one hit while striking out two batters in the tenth inning. Nick Mears secured his first save of the season, sealing the Brewers’ historic win.
This extraordinary achievement not only adds to the Brewers’ legacy but also raises questions about their potential as they advance further into the season. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how long this winning streak can last. The Brewers’ next game promises to be another exciting chapter in this unfolding story.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Brewers aim to extend their record-breaking streak. This is a moment for the history books, capturing the hearts of baseball fans everywhere.
