The Milwaukee Brewers set a new franchise record with 14 consecutive wins after a come-from-behind 10-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in extra innings, highlighted by a clutch three-run homer from Andruw Monasterio. However, their winning streak ended the following day when the Reds defeated them 3-2 in walk-off fashion in the 10th inning. The Chicago Cubs secured a 3-1 win against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a tiebreaking single by Seiya Suzuki in the eighth inning, marking their second consecutive victory. Suzuki, who celebrated his 31st birthday during this period, contributed multiple hits and walks across games. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit his 44th home run of the season, tying Kyle Schwarber for the National League lead, but experienced a difficult pitching outing against the Colorado Rockies, allowing five runs over four innings and taking a liner to the knee. The Dodgers won the game 11-4, with Alex Call also having a strong performance. The Rockies later defeated the Dodgers 8-3 with a walk-off win, ending a 10-game losing streak against them. The Brewers currently lead the National League Central with a 79-48 record, while the Cubs hold second place at 73-54. The Dodgers maintain their position atop the National League West following a three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres, with Ohtani contributing offensively and Padres pitcher Hiroki Matsui delivering solid relief appearances.
