Brewers Reach 100 Wins for First Time in Franchise History

Published 25 September 2026

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 on Thursday, reaching 100 regular-season wins for the first time in franchise history. The victory also extended Milwaukee’s season record beyond its previous high of 97 wins, set in 2025. The game was tied 1-1 before Jake Bauers singled in the eighth inning to score Jackson Chourio and put the Brewers ahead. Cooper Pratt and Joey Ortiz followed with run-scoring hits, giving Milwaukee a 4-1 lead. Chourio added a solo home run in the ninth, his 25th of the season. Five Milwaukee pitchers limited Philadelphia to four hits and one run; JoJo Romero was credited with the win and Antonio Senzatela earned a save. Milwaukee had already secured the National League Central title and a first-round bye. Accounts differed on whether Thursday’s result, combined with a loss by the Los Angeles Dodgers, also clinched the NL’s top playoff seed. Other reports said the Brewers were still trying to hold off the Dodgers for that position, so the top seed was not established by the available accounts. The loss slowed Philadelphia’s effort to secure a fifth consecutive postseason appearance.
