Baseball Team Breaks Franchise Wins Record in Odd Victory Against Cincinnati Reds
The Milwaukee Brewers have made history by setting a new franchise record for consecutive wins, extending their streak to 14 games following an exciting contest against the Cincinnati Reds. The game, marked by multiple unconventional plays, ended with a 6-5 victory for the Brewers, despite a close call by the Reds in the 11th inning.
In the ninth inning, Elly De La Cruz of the Reds made a throwing error, allowing a runner to score. The 11th inning saw another unexpected event as Jake Farley of the Reds rolled his ankle while trying to catch a ball, allowing the go-ahead run to score.
The game went into extras, and Ke'Bryan Hayes of the Reds hit a ground rule double that was anything but routine. Hayes' unique ground rule double hit the wall, ground, and outfielder (in order), before hopping over the fence to score a run. This unusual play has only been seen once before, in the 2021 ALDS.
Despite the unconventional plays and close calls, the Milwaukee Brewers managed to secure the win. The victory marks the team's 14th consecutive win, a feat that has not been achieved by the Brewers since their inception.
This win comes as part of a series of bizarre plays in baseball, similar to the recent Brewers-Reds game. Examples include a weird double bounce on a home run hit by Reds' Noelvi Marte, an improbable Giants rally against the Brewers, and various historically rare feats such as Kerry Wood and Roger Clemens each striking out 20 batters in a game.
The loss by the Cincinnati Reds ended their chance of not being swept in a series. The Reds had come close to a comeback in the 11th inning but ultimately fell just short. The Cincinnati Reds had a chance to extend their streak as the only team in baseball not to be swept in a series, but the Brewers had other plans.
The Milwaukee Brewers are currently on a 13-game winning streak, and with their latest victory, they have extended their winning streak to 14 games. The team's dominance on the field has been a sight to behold, and fans are eager to see if they can continue their impressive run.
