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.

On the other side of the ball, the Brewers pitching staff completed a "hidden" perfect game by retiring 32 consecutive batters between Friday and Saturday's games. That streak was broken up by Reds outfielder TJ Friedl singling off starter Quinn Priester. That, too, qualified as a new franchise record, according to Elias Sports Bureau.

Utlity man Andruw Monasterio kept the Brewers' streak going with a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the 11th inning.

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 Brewers clinched a 13th consecutive winning series against the Cincinnati Reds who haven't won a series in the rivalry since August 2022.

The Cincinnati Reds sent the burgeoning young ace of the Milwaukee Brewers to an early shower in the Bottom of the 2nd inning in Friday night’s series opener, eschewing his elite 101 mph heat and sending batter after batter to the plate hunting singles.
