The Milwaukee Brewers have been the talk of baseball recently because of their 14-game winning streak. It was those ‘87 Brewers who won their first 13 games of the season, triggering the same free burger promotion by a local chain that went into effect when this year’s streak hit 12.

The Chicago Cubs once had a strong lead in the National League Central. However, the Milwaukee Brewers entered Sunday with a nine-game lead.

The Brewers beat the Reds, 6-5, for a franchise-record 14th-straight victory Aug. 16 with help from a 3-run homer by Andruw Monasterio in the 11th.

Another day, another Brewers win led by starter Quinn Priester, and the team has now won 14 straight games in which he starts.
