The Milwaukee Brewers erased an early seven-run deficit to come back and defeat the Cincinnati Reds Friday night. The rally secured the Brewers’ 13th straight win and added to the best record in MLB.
The Brewers’ winning streak tied the franchise’s single-season record previously set in 1987.
The Reds jumped out to an early 8-1 lead after a seven-run second inning. They chased Brewers’ All-Star pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, who was making his first start since July 28 due to injury, after just 1⅓ innings.
