Reds Set Franchise Record with 33-Game Series Unbeaten Streak

Nick Lodolo delivered a standout performance for the Cincinnati Reds with his first complete-game shutout, striking out eight batters and allowing only four hits in a 5-0 victory over the Washington Nationals. This win helped the Reds avoid a series sweep for the first time this season and set a new franchise record with 33 straight series without being swept, surpassing the 1970 Reds' mark. Reds manager Terry Francona praised Lodolo's command and endurance, noting his consistent velocity and effective use of a breaking ball throughout the game. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers saw their 11-game winning streak end in a 1-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners, as rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was pulled early due to planned innings limits despite pitching scoreless innings with a fastball reaching up to 101.9 mph. Misiorowski's limited workload reflects the Brewers' strategy to preserve his arm strength during their playoff push, highlighting concerns over young pitchers' health with increasing innings. The Brewers remain tied for first place in the NL Central with a strong overall record despite the setback.
