The Milwaukee Brewers have won 12 straight baseball games. But now after George Webb announced their free burger giveaway date, it's time for the Crew to make it 13 in a row. They face a surging Cincinnati Reds team that finds themselves just 0.5 game out of a playoff position on August 15. It's bound to be a high-energy clash between two young NL Central squads who each have their sights set on October baseball.
However, the Brewers will be shorthanded in their position player group for their weekend set in the Queen City. Two of their key outfielders, Isaac Collins and Blake Perkins, have been placed on temporary leave for various personal reasons.
