The Brewers didn't so much barge through to beat the Reds in extra innings for their franchise-record 14th consecutive win on Saturday. Because of poor defensive plays and mistakes, Cincinnati essentially opened the door and let Milwaukee take the game.

Clinching the new franchise record was far from easy, as the Brewers trailed 2-1 through eight innings of action. Milwaukee kept the game alive in the ninth, with Brice Turang scoring following a throwing error from Elly De La Cruz as he attempted to turn a potential game-ending double play.

The Milwaukee Brewers etched their names into franchise history Saturday night, capturing their record-breaking 14th consecutive victory with a dramatic 6-5, 11-inning win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.

Give the Reds credit for answering Milwaukee's go-ahead run in the 10th inning. Ke'Bryan Hayes tied the game 3-3 with an RBI ground-rule double, which put the winning run in scoring position for the Reds. Then the Reds brought in Joe La Sorsa for the top of the 11th, and the Brewers took advantage of his struggles and high ERA.

The Milwaukee Brewers have a chance to tie the longest win streak in franchise history Friday night in Cincinnati.
