PITCHING PROBABLES: Brewers: Jose Quintana (10-4, 3.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 69 strikeouts); Reds: Andrew Abbott (8-3, 2.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 105 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The Milwaukee Brewers will try to build upon a 14-game win streak with a victory against the Cincinnati Reds.
Read on for my MLB picks for Sunday, August 17. Milwaukee Brewers starter Jose Quintana faces a Cincinnati Reds lineup with a 24% strikeout rate against lefties with one bomb, 18 hits, and an .819 OPS against him in 59 career at-bats.
The Brewers didn't so much barge through to beat the Reds in extra innings for their franchise-record 14th consecutive win on Saturday. Because of poor defensive plays and mistakes, Cincinnati essentially opened the door and let Milwaukee take the game.
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.
Andruw Monasterio hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning and the Milwaukee Brewers won their franchise-record 14th game in a row, 6-5 over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.
The Reds are giving Jake Fraley a chance to find more playing time. The team designated the veteran outfielder for assignment on Sunday morning after the hyperextended knee he suffered the night before checked out healthy.
The Milwaukee Brewers extended their franchise-record streak to 14 games with a 6-5 extra-innings win over the Reds.
