Overview

  • The Brewers fell 3-2 in 10 innings to the Reds on Sunday, ending their franchise-record 14-game win streak.
  • Milwaukee improved to 78-45 overall and widened its margin over the Chicago Cubs to nine games in the NL Central.
  • Only seven of the 26-man roster are homegrown and 13 were acquired via trade, fueling success on the league’s tenth-lowest payroll at roughly one-third of the Dodgers’.
  • Manager Pat Murphy’s emphasis on situational hitting, aggressive baserunning and strong defense produced eight comeback victories during the streak.
  • Injuries to top prospect Jackson Chourio and rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski have tested the club’s pitching depth as it aims for a deep postseason run.
