A dominant eighth-inning rally and clinical bullpen performance propelled the Milwaukee Brewers to a historic triple-digit win total.
For the first time in franchise history, the Milwaukee Brewers have won 100 games in a season.
For those who thought last year's team was special, the 2026 edition is certainly giving them a run for their money.
Manager Pat Murphy is eyeing a third straight National League Manager of the Year Award, and time and time again he's defied the odds.
Every single expectation thrown this team's way has been shattered, and the Brewers seem to do it with relative ease.
The Philadelphia Phillies had no idea what hit them in the eighth inning as Milwaukee scored three runs to take a commanding 4-1 lead late into this one.
After dropping the series opener in rather lifeless fashion, the Brewers turned around to win the next two games, 4-1 and 5-1.
Late rally leads to historic 100-win season
Never before has a Brewers team ever had a record that looks like this one. After securing a four-run win at Citizens Bank Park, the Brewers sit at 100-59.
Lifelong fans of this franchise have waited quite some time to see triple digits attached to this team's win total. It seemed like they had a chance to do so last year, but they shattered all records in 2026, reaching the 100-win mark with three games left in the regular season.
Jackson Chourio added an insurance run as his 25th home run of the year came in the ninth inning, but prior to that, it was an RBI barrage from Jake Bauers, Cooper Pratt, and Joey Ortiz.
Time and time again, the Brewers prove that a true team effort can go a long way. Defense wins championships, and for as few homers as this team hits, they consistently find gritty ways to get the job done.
Overall, it was an 11-hit effort in what was the Brewers' final road game of the regular season.
Bullpen day got the job done
Originally, Bryse Wilson was scheduled to start this game in his first appearance since going on the Injured List.
A few hours before first pitch, he was scratched for Shane Drohan. Drohan allowed one run in his 2.2 innings, and that was the lone run any of the five pitchers used in this game would allow.
Chad Patrick threw 1.1 innings, Aaron Ashby threw a pair, JoJo Romero also threw 1.1, and then Antonio Senzatela threw 1.2 to net his fourth save of the season. Romero, who was acquired in the Dustin May trade, picked up a rare win to improve to 3-3.
Remember, the Brewers' magic number has fallen to one, so a Los Angeles Dodgers loss later on Thursday night. would clinch this team home field advantage through the World Series.
