Milwaukee stunned Cincinnati by turning an 8-1 hole into a 10-8 victory at Great American Ball Park, their 13th straight win. Andrew Vaughn provided a spark with a three-run shot in the third, trimming the deficit, but Christian Yelich carried the day with four hits, including a go-ahead homer in the sixth. Yelich was also a touch short of a cycle, a nod to his historically strong performances against Cincinnati. The night carried a commemorative edge as Yelich played with a Bob Uecker bat on Players Weekend, honoring the longtime broadcaster who died earlier this year.

Rookie Jacob Misiorowski struggled in his return from a left tibia contusion, allowing five runs in 1 1/3 innings on 54 pitches. Lefty DL Hall worked 2 2/3 innings and the bullpen finished strong, with five Brewers relievers retiring the final 23 Reds batters. Milwaukee improved to 77-44, the MLB best, while Cincinnati slipped to 64-59 and remained in the tight chase for a wild-card spot.

Yelich on Uecker storytelling

This win showcases a Brewers lineup that can win in multiple ways. When the early game looked out of reach, Yelich stepped up, turning a rough night for the rotation into a signature personal performance. The Uecker bat adds a thread of history to a modern comeback, reminding fans that baseball is a living conversation between past and present. The bullpen’s late dominance matters just as much as Yelich’s night, underscoring the team's depth as the schedule grows tougher.

Long term, Milwaukee will ride momentum from this night into a demanding stretch. The streak buys confidence, but consistency remains the real test as the team negotiates a crowded division and a competitive wild-card race. The Reds, meanwhile, still face pressure to secure a postseason berth, making every late-inning moment precious for both clubs.
