Brewers set single-season franchise record with 14th straight win

CINCINNATI — The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-5 in 11 innings to extend their 14-game win streak, a new single-season franchise mark for consecutive victories.
Milwaukee took an early lead when Brice Turang doubled in a run in the second, but the Reds answered with solo homers from Ke’Bryan Hayes and Spencer Steer to take a 2-1 edge. The game stayed tight until the ninth, when a throwing error by Elly De La Cruz tied the score at 2-2 and kept the rally alive for Milwaukee.
In the 10th, Anthony Seigler scored on a throwing error by Reds left fielder Jake Fraley to push the Brewers ahead only to see Cincinnati rally again in the bottom half. The game went to the 11th, where pinch-hitter Andruw Monasterio delivered a three-run homer for the decisive 6-5 lead. Milwaukee reliever Nick Mears closed out the win by getting Matt McLain to fly out to end the bottom of the 11th.
The victory keeps Milwaukee with a dominant position in the NL Central and a sizable lead over the Phillies in the league standings, while also extending a run that has players and fans buzzing about the club’s depth and late-inning resilience.

The streak is less about flawless execution than it is about timely hitting and opportunistic defense. Milwaukee has repeatedly turned small openings into big results, showing a mental edge that can carry a team through a long season. The 11th-inning homer by Monasterio, who wore number 14, symbolized the quiet confidence this club has built—they prepare for big moments and often come through.
But the durability of such a run is also a test of roster depth and bullpen management. If the Brewers push the streak further, questions will shift to fatigue, how they balance rest and urgency, and whether this surge can translate into sustained performance against stronger schedules and rival teams in the coming weeks.

Highlights
