It’s going to take more than a seven-run deficit to end the Milwaukee Brewers’ win streak, apparently.<\/p>\n
After falling behind 8-1 against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, the Brewers surged back to win their 13th straight game, tying a franchise record for consecutive wins in a season. At 77-44, they still have the best record in MLB.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee fell into a hole due to the shortest start of Jacob Misiorowski’s young career, in his return from the injured list<\/a>. The Reds pounced on the rookie and reliever DL Hall for eight runs in the first two innings, with the Brewers’ win probability bottomed out at 3.1%.<\/p>\n And then they didn’t allow a hit for the rest of the game. Relievers Nick Mears, Aaron Ashby, Abner Uribe, Jared Koenig and Trevor Megill combined for five hitless innings and nine strikeouts, while the Brewers offense \u2014 the best in baseball over the past month \u2014 got to work.<\/p>\n A five-run third inning, punctuated by another homer from Andrew Vaughn, made it a game again. Christian Yelich, who got Milwaukee on the board with a second-inning solo shot, tied the game with an RBI single in the fourth inning, then got the lead with his second homer of the game in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n Yelich did it all with a Bob Uecker-themed bat, as part of MLB’s Players Weekend.<\/p>\n
