Brewers Rally Past Reds for 13th Straight Victory

Milwaukee overcame an 8-1 deficit to beat Cincinnati 10-8 on Friday night. Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski, back from the injured list, allowed five runs in 1 1/3 innings as the Reds built an early lead. Christian Yelich sparked the comeback with a second-inning homer and added an RBI double and a fourth-inning two-run single as Milwaukee tied the game at 8-8. Yelich then hit his 26th homer in the sixth to give the Brewers the lead. Six relievers combined to retire the final 23 Reds batters, and Trevor Megill worked the ninth for his 29th save. Yelich also used a bat honoring the late Bob Uecker during the game. Milwaukee improved to 28 of 32 in its recent stretch. The Brewers are set to start Quinn Priester on Saturday against Zack Littell.

This win underscores Milwaukee’s depth and belief. A big early hole did not derail a club that has learned how to win in the late innings. The bullpen’s steadiness and Yelich’s timely power show why Milwaukee can weather rough starts and still pull off historic comebacks. The game also adds a narrative thread about leadership on the field and in the clubhouse, as Yelich carried the moment with both his bat and his presence. Closer competition in the rotation will test the team, but the current run suggests a club that can turn pressure into a signature performance.

Highlights

The night belongs to a club that keeps finding new ways to win.
