Brewers edge Reds in 11th to extend streak

Milwaukee edges Cincinnati in 11 innings to keep a historic win streak alive and deepen the Reds' series woes.

Brewers extend franchise record to 14 with 6-5 win over Reds

Milwaukee beat Cincinnati 6-5 in 11 innings, pushing their franchise-record 14th straight win. Andruw Monasterio delivered a three-run homer in the 11th, sealing the comeback after the Reds briefly led in the sixth with solo shots from Ke'Bryan Hayes and Spencer Steer. Milwaukee bounced back after a 2-1 deficit, aided by a misplay in the 10th when William Contreras' base hit went for an error that allowed the automatic runner to score, and Trevor Megill pitched a clean 10th. Reds reliever Joe La Sorsa took the loss after allowing three runs on three hits. In the 11th, Elly De La Cruz scored on a sacrifice fly, and Noelvi Marte added a solo homer before Matt McLain's drive to center was caught for the final out. Nick Mears earned his first save of the season.

The win underlines Milwaukee's depth and their ability to win in the late innings, a hallmark of a team entering the stretch run with confidence. Monasterio's clutch homer is the kind of breakout moment that turns a hot streak into a sustained winning culture. For Cincinnati, the repeated struggle to close out series against Milwaukee highlights a broader mismatch in head-to-head matchups this season and a risk of slipping further in the division if the pattern holds. As Milwaukee rides the momentum, the Reds face a test to reframe their bullpen arc and close gaps in the rotation.
