“It’s Uecker magic,” said Bonnie Bruhn, a 79-year-old Brewers fan from the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis, Wisconsin. As the Brewers prepare to spend this weekend honoring Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker, fans are hoping the team can pay tribute to him by making the deep playoff run that has eluded this franchise lately.

Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich had planned to debut a special Bob Uecker-themed bat during MLB Players Weekend last year, but a back injury sidelined him at the time.

"...it's how the sport works, nobody's panicking..." Christian Yelich gives a philosophical summary after the Brewers lost to the Chicago Cubs on August 20, 2025, at Wrigley Field.

Christian Yelich had two homers among his four hits and drove in five runs as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a seven-run deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 for their club record-tying 13th straight victory.

The Brewers tied a franchise record by extending their winning streak to 13 straight games with an improbable comeback victory over the Reds.
