Cincinnati – The Brewers of Milwaukee set a franchise record in a single season with their 14th consecutive victory on Saturday. And, in accordance with the recent form, it was not easy.
The brewers of the major league rallied for the second consecutive match and beat the Reds of Cincinnati 6-5 in 11 rounds. This Milwaukee club has established a new reference – so far – for consecutive victories, going beyond the 1987 team which opened this season by winning its first 13 games.
The Brewers will seek to add to their sequence in the final of the series against the rival of the cincinnati division on Sunday. The Reds lost 13 games in a row against the Brewers.
The Milwaukee general record for consecutive victories is 16 games, from 1986 to 1987, when they won their last three games in 1986 and their first 13 in 1987.
Friday evening, the Brewers race seemed to be in danger before rallying seven points in two rounds by scoring nine unanswered points by beating the Reds 10-8.
Milwaukee seemed again in difficulty on Saturday, but showed resilience that became the decisive line of these brewers. They won eight return victories during this current victories sequence; Among the 24 teams in the past 80 seasons to win 14 consecutive games, the Brewers are only the third to have at least eight victories on this period.
The swing key this time came from Andrew Monasterio, who crushed a three -point three -point circuit in the 11th.
“It’s an incredible feeling,” said Monasterio, who bears No. 14. “I was not ready for 14 to 14 years. … It’s incredible.”
Monasterio was apparently prepared for his moment showstopping and streak-intertwining.
“(Manager) Pat Murphy asked me to be ready three or four times,” said the 28 -year -old interior field player. “It was the fifth time he asked me to be ready during the match. He asked me in the seventh:” Are you ready for a big moment? “I said,” Of course, yes. “But I didn’t know it was going to happen like that.”
Milwaukee Starter, Quinn Piliester, said his team under the age of 11 had obtained 49-0 and called this.
“But not as fun as that,” he said.
PRIESTER said the Brewers took advantage of the maximum of each opportunity offered by the opponents.
“We have just given ourselves all the opportunities, then certainly when we get additional opportunities, we seem to take advantage of it each time,” he said. “You have the opportunity, it’s time to enter and make a big swing, to make a big argument. When the guys get their opportunities, we are not shy, that’s for sure.”
The Brewers took an early advance when Brice Turang doubled in a second round race. The Reds obtained solo circuits from Ke’Bryan Hayes and Spencer in the sixth for a 2-1 advance.
It turned out that the Reds helped Milwaukee to maintain his life victories sequence while the Brewers marked a launch error by Cincinnati the Elly Cruz stop in the ninth to equalize the match at 2. And, the Brewers went forward in the 10th when Anthony Songer marked on a mistake by the left-hand player Jake Fraley.
Cincinnati fought backwards at the bottom of the 10th and equaled it to 3-All on a double RBI by Hayes.
In the end, the Reds provided Brewers too likely to continue their winning routes while Monasterio completed a three -point shot in the 11th – just his second of the season after his first on July 3 against the New York Mets.
The Reds repelled in the lower half, reducing the deficit with a sacrificial fly by Santiago Espinal and reducing their deficit to a race on the ninth circuit of the year of Noelvi Marte.
But Milwaukee prevailed when the lift Nick Mears asked Matt Mclain to go to the warning track in the right center, end the game and extend the sequence.
Milwaukee now has 34 games on .500 to 78-44 and has a lead of nine games in the central NL on the Chicago Cubs. In the National League, the Brewers have eight games better than the Philadelphia Phillies, leader in the East Division (70-53).
