The Reds played clean baseball Sunday to beat the Brewers, but defensive lapses earlier cost them the series — again.
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.
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.
In the 10th inning, Trevino also hopped up from behind the plate to gather a sacrifice bunt attempt by the Brewers' Blake Perkins and threw to Reds' third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes for the tag out on Milwaukee's Andrew Vaughn, the so-called "ghost runner."
Andruw Monasterio hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers won their franchise-record 14th game in a row 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.
