In a memorable night in Cincinnati, the Milwaukee Brewers staged an epic comeback, overcoming a seven-run deficit to defeat the Reds with a final score of 10-8. This triumph not only signified the 13th consecutive victory for the Brewers, tying a franchise record, but also made them the first team in 94 years to achieve a double-digit winning streak with a comeback of such magnitude.
Yelich, the Star of the Night
Christian Yelich was the central figure of the game, hitting two home runs and totaling four hits, driving in five runs to lead the Brewers’ offense. His performance was even more special, as he used a bat in honor of the late Bob Uecker, with the iconic phrase of the Brewers’ commentator engraved on it. Yelich opened the scoring for the Brewers with a home run in the second inning against Nick Martinez. Subsequently, he contributed a run-scoring double in the third inning and a two-run single in the fourth, tying the game. In the sixth inning, Yelich hit his second home run of the night, giving the Brewers the lead. This was the third game in Yelich’s career where he achieved four hits and two home runs, tying Ryan Braun and Willy Adames for the most in franchise history.
