Impossible stuff by the Brew Crew.
Milwaukee Brewers make MLB history with record comeback to extend winning streak originally appeared on The Sporting News
This should've been impossible.
The Milwaukee Brewers trailed by seven runs in the second inning.
Sure, they had a 12-game winning streak alive. But against a quality Cincinnati Reds team, a seven-run deficit had to be insurmountable, right?
Wrong.
The Brewers had tied the game by the fourth inning and taken the lead in the sixth.
They went on to win, 10-8.

It's a lucky 13th win in a row for Milwaukee.
Via MLB.com, "According to Elias, it was the biggest comeback in MLB history to extend a winning streak to 13 or more games. The previous standard was five runs, by the 1934 Tigers for their 13th in a row and the 2002 A’s for their 19th."
Christian Yelich led the way with a monster night: four hits and five RBI swinging a bat on Players' Weekend that paid tribute to the late, great Bob Uecker.

Yelich hit a solo homer in the second inning, a run-scoring double in the third, a two-run single in the fourth and then took the lead with a solo homer in the sixth.
His bat featured Uecker's signature call, "Get up! Get outta here!"
And on a crazy Friday night, that's exactly what happened, and the Brewers had made quite the history amid a magical run.
