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 Guardians were shut out for the 12th time and fell one game behind the Yankees for the final American League wild-card spot.

The Brewers, thanks to their 12-game winning streak they extended Wednesday night against the Pirates, now have the best record in baseball by 6 ½ games. Given not only that but also the major struggles every other serious contender have suffered this season -- most of them very recently -- one might think the Brewers' are the odds-on favorites to win the World Series.
