Reds End Brewers' Record Win Streak

Milwaukee Brewers' 14-Game Win Streak Ends in Dramatic Fashion

The Milwaukee Brewers' franchise single-season record 14-game win streak came to an end on Sunday in a thrilling 3-2 victory for the Cincinnati Reds. In the bottom of the 10th inning, Austin Hays delivered a game-winning single that brought in TJ Friedl, sealing the win for the Reds.
