Is their feast over.

The Milwaukee Brewers put down the winning streak that heated up the summer from '14 games'.

Milwaukee lost 2-3 to the Cincinnati Reds in the last of three consecutive away games at Great American Ballpark on the 18th (Korea time) after 10 extra innings. The 14-game winning streak, which continued from the game against the Washington Nationals on the 2nd to the game against Cincinnati the day before, has been put on hold.




Milwaukee's record for most consecutive wins is 16 consecutive wins in three games at the end of 1986 and the opening 13 games in 1987. In the single season, the team's record of 14 consecutive wins is the most.

However, it is said that the players created a feast atmosphere in the locker room after the game. That's because he knew that the winning streak that no one expected would ever be cut off. He must be feeling relaxed.

Christian Yelich, the team's star and leader, turned to the players gathered in the locker room, saying, `Let's forget it all now. Let's gather our strength and start again from tomorrow."




Coach Pat Murphy said in an interview with local media, `All of our players realized that every ball was precious and that baseball was not over until the end. We've done a great job this time, but we've also shown that we're people" expressed his feelings. It means you can't just win.

Milwaukee was persistent again on the day. William Contreras' come-from-behind two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 0-1, slightly raising expectations. However, shortstop Bryce Turang's error in the bottom of the ninth inning allowed a tie, and he knelt down by giving up a walk-off hit in the bottom of the 10th inning.

What is Milwaukee's strength that made it the strongest team in the Major League.




In an interview with CNN the previous day, Murphy credited the entire players for their 14th consecutive win, saying, `Average Joes play hard.'

CNN reported that the headlines in the `news are usually decorated by sluggers, but the Brewers are showing off their excellence in other areas. Run hard, defend hard, and prevent a run. In particular, stolen bases (135) ranked second overall.

Rookie outfielder Isaac Collins said 'All players lead the team to victory every day. Every night new players appear and all from 1 to 9 do their part. He does his best at one at-bat and every ball. "No matter who comes up, I will cheer up the team." It is in the same vein as Murphy's explanation.

Milwaukee doesn't have a young lead hitter right now. Jackson Chu Su-oh injured his right hamstring while running with a triple against the Chicago Cubs on the 30th of last month. However, since then, the batting lineup's concentration has improved.

On the 1st, all nine starting hitters in the match against Washington scored hits and runs, winning a 16-9 victory and raising the mood. Milwaukee ranks first overall in this category in all eight starting hitters this season.

Murphy said "I'm not the only one who knows that everyone has to do well (to win). I didn't even make it. It's just that we're together as a team. We're not a big-money team and we didn't sign a star player outstanding in the offseason. We didn't spend a lot of money. I put my money down"That's our team. Let's be honest. We do not sign with the FA. If we do it now, we may have opportunities, and we may not."

Milwaukee is a representative small market club. Payroll on the opening day of this year was ranked 23rd overall with $115 million. It is one-third of the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, which cost more than $300 million. It's not a team that can buy a championship with money.

Murphy, who served as Arizona State coach, is famous for his style of finding players who have received less attention than star-studded players and raising them as the team's main focus. Rather than 'sweet red candy', the so-called 'Orange Life Savers' theory is published that it is quite sweet even if you choose and eat 'Orange Candy', which is not very popular. Last year, he preached this theory in an interview with leading local media 'Milkwijon Journal Sentinel', drawing attention.

Rather than buying big players or nurturing prospects, they choose to fill the necessary positions through trade and grow them with all their might. Currently, 13 out of 26 rosters are players acquired through trade. This is the second highest figure after the Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners.

Milwaukee has never won a World Series championship since its foundation in 1969. His best record was in 1982 when he reached the World Series and lost to St. Louis Cardinals with 3 wins and 4 losses to finish second.

However, from 2018 to last year, it is evaluated that he has been in the postseason every year except for 2022 and laid the foundation for the championship. This season, he won the NL Central for the third consecutive year, and the autumn baseball is expected to be Tanon.

Milwaukee has won more than 10 consecutive games twice this season. This is the 10th case since 1969 when the division system was introduced. Of the previous nine teams, only three teams reached the World Series: the Houston Astros in 2019, the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017, and the New York Mets in 1969. Of these, only the Mets won the championship.
