The "Fireball" rookie Jacob Misiorowski returned to the team, and despite being overwhelmed, the Brewers still achieved a 13-game winning streak, tying the record.

Even though "Fireball" rookie Jacob Misiorowski returned from the injured list and in his first game back pitched just 1.1 innings allowing 5 runs, the Milwaukee Brewers, with 17 hits, still came back to win, finishing with a 10-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on the road, achieving a tie for the longest winning streak of 13 games in a single season in franchise history.

The Brewers have won 28 out of their last 32 games, remaining undefeated in their 13 games in August so far, which ties the franchise record for the longest winning streak to start a season at 13 games, matching the record set in 1987. Their longest winning streak across seasons is 16 games, which includes the last 3 games of 1986.

In today's game, the Brewers started Misiorowski, who had been on the injured list for 15 days due to a left tibia injury. However, in his first game back, he struggled with control, throwing 54 pitches with only 28 strikes. He was hit for 4 hits in the first inning, allowing 1 run, which was saved only by a fantastic throw from center fielder Steward Berroa to home plate.

In the second inning, after one out, Misiorowski hit a batter, followed by three consecutive walks, leading to his exit from the game. His replacement, DL Hall, was hit for 5 consecutive hits, allowing the Reds to score 6 runs, 3 of which were charged to Misiorowski as earned runs.

Ultimately, in his first game back, Misiorowski pitched 1.1 innings, struck out 3 batters, issued 4 walks, allowed 4 hits, and gave up 5 runs.

However, the Brewers recorded a total of 17 hits in the game, scoring 5 runs in the top of the third inning and tying the game in the top of the fourth. Christian Yelich, who hit a home run to tie the game in the top of the second inning, homered again in the top of the sixth, hitting the decisive go-ahead home run. In the top of the seventh, after two outs, Brandn Lockridge hit a double and added another insurance run for the Brewers due to an error and a wild pitch. After scoring their 8th run in the second inning, the Reds went on to have 23 consecutive batters retired without adding any more runs, allowing the Brewers to secure their 13th consecutive win.

Yelich had an impressive performance with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, including two home runs, driving in 5 runs. Lockridge also contributed with 3 hits, while Sal Frelick, Joey Ortiz, Andrew Vaughn, and Brice Turang each had 2 hits, with Vaughn hitting a 3-run home run in the third inning.
