Brewers' 14-Game Winning Streak Ends in Crushing Defeat
18 Aug
Summary
- Brewers' longest winning streak ever ends at 14 games
- Brewers lose to Reds in dramatic 10th-inning walk-off
- Brewers star Yelich urges team to "forget it" and move on
On August 14th, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers' impressive 14-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history, came to a crushing end. The Brewers, who were seeking a three-game sweep of their division rivals, the Cincinnati Reds, nearly pulled off a stunning comeback, but ultimately fell 3-2 in a dramatic 10th-inning walk-off loss.
Catcher William Contreras had given the Brewers a 2-1 lead in the top of the ninth, but the Reds rallied to tie the game and then win it in the 10th. Despite the disappointment, Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich was quick to urge his team to move on, telling his teammates, "Forget it, let's come back and do it again tomorrow."
The Brewers' streak was the longest in Major League Baseball this season, and one of the longest in the team's history. While the loss was a tough one, manager Pat Murphy acknowledged that it was a "reminder for our guys that every pitch matters and it ain't over until it's over." With the Brewers still holding a commanding eight-game lead in the NL Central, the focus now shifts to maintaining their intensity and making a deep postseason run.
