Brewers propel to another victory, tying club record with 13th consecutive win, as Yelich slugs two home runs to lead past Reds 10-8.
Milwaukee Brewers Extend Winning Streak to 13 Games with Christian Yelich's Standout Performance
The Milwaukee Brewers continued their impressive form on August 15, 2025, securing their 13th consecutive victory against the Cincinnati Reds. A standout performance from Christian Yelich, using a bat honoring the late Bob Uecker, was instrumental in this historic achievement.
Yelich delivered a sensational display at the plate, going 4-for-5, including two home runs with the tribute bat. His first home run in the second inning tied the game, marking a crucial moment in the match.
The bat, designed for Players' Weekend and adorned with Uecker's image and iconic home run call, held special significance as the Brewers played their first season without their beloved broadcaster, who had passed away. Yelich felt a strong connection to Uecker while wielding the bat during the streak, calling the moment one of the most memorable of his career, especially coming a year after his back surgery.
The Brewers' winning streak saw them overcome a seven-run deficit to beat the Reds 10-8. Andrew Vaughn and Brice Turang contributed with three-run and RBI doubles respectively, while Brandon Lockridge scored a run in the seventh inning.
Reds RHP Zack Littell (9-8, 3.60) and Brewers RHP Quinn Priester (11-2, 3.49) are set to face off in Saturday's game. However, the Brewers' pitching was impressive, with six relievers retiring the final 23 Reds batters in order.
Despite a shaky start from Jacob Misiorowski, who was charged with five runs in 1 1/3 innings, the Brewers' offense ensured a hard-fought victory. With 28 wins in their last 32 games, the Brewers are well on their way to breaking more records and continuing their remarkable run.
Christian Yelich's impressive offensive display, highlighted by two home runs with a bat honoring the late Bob Uecker, continued the Milwaukee Brewers' MLB record-breaking 13-game winning streak on August 15, 2025. As the team enters Saturday's game against the Reds, they continue to dominate, with their sights set on breaking even more records in Major League Baseball.
