Milwaukee surged to 14 straight wins, a franchise mark, as they edged Cincinnati 6-5 in 11 innings. The rally-heavy affair showcased Milwaukee’s depth and clutch hitting, headlined by Andrew Monasterio’s pinch-hit, three-run homer that sealed the victory. With the streak at 16 straight wins across 1986-87, the Brewers sit 34 games over .500 and own a nine-game NL Central lead, highlighting a fantasy wave of Brewers players who thrive in opportunistic lineups.

Turbulence and grit defined the night: Brice Turang opened the scoring with a run-scoring double; Milwaukee tied it late on an opponent error; Seigler crossed the plate in the 10th, setting the stage for Monasterio’s decisive shot. Reds’ stars countered at times, but Milwaukee’s resilience carried them to a marquee win and a continuing hot streak that fantasy managers will be eyeing for weeks.

Masyn Winn has emerged as the Cardinals’ defensive anchor at short, leading MLB with 21 outs above average and a wide edge in OAA over a tight group behind him. If he sustains this pace, he could become STL’s first Gold Glove winner since Edgar Renteria in 2003. Winn is hitting .267 with 9 homers and 46 RBI with 38 games left, showing enough pop to pair with elite glove work. In the Yankees game, his three-run homer helped Memphis… er, St. Louis briefly surge, underscoring the two-way threat he offers.

The Gold Glove chase features a cluster around Winn, including Witt Jr., Hayes, and Crow-Armstrong, all at 18 OAA and within striking distance. Winn’s two errors all season and a league-leading 4.02 PO/9 showcase a rare blend of contact, range, and consistency. If he stays healthy and erases a few mistakes, Winn could author a historic Cardinals season and transform his fantasy upside as a premier multifaceted contributor.

Milwaukee’s 14th straight win buried Cincinnati 6-3 in extras, a historic run paced by a late-game surge and a pinch-hit three-run blast from Andruw Monasterio. The Brewers sit 78-44 and own baseball’s best record, riding a wave of opportunistic offense and errant Reds defense that kept Milwaukee in striking distance all night. The Reds committed several costly miscues that fed Milwaukee’s progress, including a ninth-inning error that sparked a run and a misplayed bunt in extra innings that extended the frame.

Milwaukee’s late inning theatrics began with a 10th-inning rally sparked by Contreras’s leadoff single, then a sequence of Reds’ miscues and a decisive Monasterio homer that turned the tide. Noelvi Marte answered with a solo shot in the 11th, but Monasterio’s pinch-hit clout sealed a history-making win. Jose Quintana is lined up to face Andrew Abbott in the finale, with Milwaukee aiming for a 15th straight win Sunday against Cincinnati.

Ke’Bryan Hayes returned to PNC Park, the home of his former team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, just eight days after being traded to the Cincinnati Reds. The transition felt surreal for the 28-year-old, who donned the Reds’ colors for the first time in a game against his old squad. He reflected on his five-year tenure with the Pirates, expressing mixed emotions about facing his former team.

As the Reds prepare for a four-game series against the Pirates, Hayes emphasized the excitement of playing in front of Pittsburgh fans again. He acknowledged the change of scenery but remained focused on the game, especially with promising pitcher Paul Skenes taking the mound for the night’s matchup.
