Brewers coaches and front office officials have spent hours in meetings and Zoom sessions over recent days discussing how to get through this particularly burdensome stretch of the schedule without blowing out the pitching on the cusp of a pennant push.

One of their most impressive wins during that franchise-record 14-game win streak came on Friday night. The Brewers faced an 8-1 deficit after two innings against the Reds and clawed their way back on the strength of two homers and five RBI from Christian Yelich — doing so while using his customized Bob Uecker bat for player’s weekend.

All true. But even though the Brewers’ 14-game winning streak ended Sunday with a 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in 10 innings, their record is best in the majors by six games. The team that opened the season with the sport’s eighth lowest payroll is putting the competition to shame.

The Milwaukee Brewers set a single-season franchise record with their 14th straight victory Saturday. And, in keeping with recent form, it wasn’t easy.

The Brewers take over the top spot in the MLB Power Rankings while the Mets continue to fall even after a series win.

The Brewers' 7-0 win over the Cubs on Monday was made a little sweeter by a gesture from pitcher Quinn Priester's grandma, Judy Foley. As Milwaukee won the first of a five-game series against their division rival Chicago, they were greeted with homemade cookies from Foley.

Christian Yelich had two homers among his four hits and drove in five runs as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a seven-run deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 for their club record-tying 13th straight victory.

And yet, oddsmakers still aren’t quite sold on the Brew Crew being the best team in the league. Despite this unbelievable run, Milwaukee still has the third-best odds (+400, FanDuel Sportsbook) of winning the National League pennant behind the Dodgers (+210) and Phillies (+380).
