Milwaukee’s recent streak calls to mind the Brewers’ 1987 season, which was quite a roller coaster
The Milwaukee Brewers have captured attention with their 14-game winning streak. This impressive run brings back memories of the Brewers' 1987 season, when they started with a 13-game winning streak.
When the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs in the opener of a 5-game series, it bunched the top 4 NL wild-card contenders within 5 1/2 games.
Saturday night, the Reds had the winning run in scoring position with just one out in the bottom of the 10th. Elly De La Cruz struck out with runners on first and second and two outs to end the inning, and the Brewers took a 6-3 lead in the top of the 11th on a pinch-hit three-run home run by Andruw Monasterio.
