The Milwaukee Brewers set a single-season franchise record with their 14th consecutive victory, edging the Cincinnati Reds 6–5 in 11 innings on Saturday night in Cincinnati. Pinch-hitter Andruw Monasterio broke a 3–3 tie with a three-run homer, delivering the major-league-leading Brewers their 78th win of the year and surpassing the club’s previous mark of 13 straight set in 1987. The streak was built on dramatic comebacks, most notably Friday’s 10–8 win in which Milwaukee erased a seven-run deficit to match the old record. The run propelled the Brewers nine games clear of the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central and left them 34 games over .500 at 78-44, the best record in Major League Baseball. Milwaukee’s surge ended on Sunday when the Reds scored in the bottom of the ninth for a walk-off victory, halting the Brewers’ streak at 14—tied for the sixth-longest single-season run in the majors this century. Despite the loss, Milwaukee remains on pace for its first 100-win campaign and will open its next series on Monday still holding the NL’s top seed.
