“It’s Uecker magic,” said Bonnie Bruhn, a 79-year-old Brewers fan from the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis, Wisconsin. As the Brewers prepare to spend this weekend honoring Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker, fans are hoping the team can pay tribute to him by making the deep playoff run that has eluded this franchise lately.

The 13-game winning streak ties the 1987 team for the longest in a single season in Brewers history. That 1987 team won its first 13 games of the season. Add in the final three games of 1986, and the team record is a 16-game winning streak spanning 1986-87. The 13-gamer ties the Minnesota Twins for longest winning streak in baseball this year.

The Brewers tied a franchise record by extending their winning streak to 13 straight games with an improbable comeback victory over the Reds.

Christian Yelich had two homers among his four hits and drove in five runs as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a seven-run deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 for their club record-tying 13th straight victory.

Any concern about the major-league-leading Milwaukee Brewers losing three straight games for the first time since May 7-10 clearly is not shared by Christian Yelich.

The Cubs make a statement against the Brewers, the Phillies batter the Mariners again, the Rockies beat down Shohei Ohtani and more from Wednesday's MLB action.

Chicago is a -138 favorite (risk $138 to win $100) in the latest Brewers vs. Cubs odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, while Milwaukee is a +113 underdog (risk $100 to win $113). The over/under for total runs scored is 6.

The Milwaukee Brewers received an injury update following their big victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.
