The Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> overcame a ninth-inning deficit on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> en route to a 6-5 extra-innings victory (box score<\/a>) that extended their winning streak to a franchise-record and season-high 14 games. These Brewers rallied from seven runs down on Friday night to defeat the Reds and tie the 1987 club for the longest single-season winning streak in franchise history. (The Brewers technically won 16 consecutive contests between the end of the 1986 season and the beginning of the 1987 schedule.)\u00a0<\/p>\n Coming into the ninth inning, Milwaukee trailed by a 2-1 margin. Back-to-back walks against Cincinnati closer Emilio Pag\u00e1n to begin the ninth inning set the scene for the Brewers to tie the game on a throwing error by shortstop Elly De La Cruz<\/a>. The Brewers subsequently plated a run in the top of the 10th inning, which was matched by the Reds in the bottom half of the frame, before taking a commanding lead in the 11th on a three-run shot by infielder Andruw Monasterio<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the other side of the ball, the Brewers pitching staff completed a “hidden” perfect game by retiring 32 consecutive batters between Friday and Saturday’s games. That streak was broken up by Reds outfielder TJ Friedl<\/a> singling off starter Quinn Priester<\/a>. That, too, qualified as a new franchise record, according to Elias Sports Bureau<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Brewers are now 78-44 on the season, giving them the best record in all of Major League Baseball. They’ve earned a W in 29 of their last 33 contests. The Reds, for their part, are now 64-60. Their loss, plus the New York Mets<\/a>‘ victory against the Seattle Mariners<\/a>, means Cincinnati will enter Sunday 1.5 games back of the National League’s third and final wild card spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images The Milwaukee Brewers overcame a ninth-inning deficit on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds en route to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[57638,64,63,5159,591,57639,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-74325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-andruw-monasterio","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-quinn-priester","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
