Robert Gasser’s seven-inning gem fueled a historic Milwaukee Brewers victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
The Milwaukee Brewers have officially matched their franchise wins record for the second consecutive season.
Coming off a 2025 campaign where they went 97-65, it's crazy to think they've already hit the 97-win mark on Saturday, Sept. 19, with a 1-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
With seven games remaining, there's no reason not to believe this team can't set a new franchise wins record. Going 0-7 would be quite the turnaround for how this team has done, but all eyes are on a 3-4 record (at minimum) to finish with at least 100 wins.
Magic number falls to 2 thanks to Robert Gasser's gem
One of the main things the Brewers needed in this game was depth from their starting pitching. Robert Gasser has put himself into the game three starting rotation conversation when it comes to the postseason, and this may have sealed his fate.
The 27-year-old reached a new career high as he threw 107 pitches, and each was somehow more important than the last.
Gasser worked himself out of a jam in the sixth inning, and then he left another key runner stranded in the seventh.
In the end, the Orioles left six runners stranded and were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
That speaks volumes as to how well Gasser did in his seven-inning outing. Gasser only allowed three hits, and while he walked three batters, none of those runners came back to haunt him.
Abner Uribe, who threw 21 pitches the night prior, notched his 22nd hold of the year as he needed only 10 pitches to get out of the eighth inning.
Come the ninth, Aaron Ashby recorded his third save of the year. Ashby got the final batter of the game to strikeout looking in a memorable game that pushed the Brewers to 97-58.
Brewers won despite having only three hits
To say this is Brewers baseball would be an understatement. Manager Pat Murphy has done wonders for this organization, and somehow they won a game where Trevor Rogers threw eight innings.
Rogers struck out 10 batters, only walked one, and only allowed three hits. Despite all of that, he fell to 10-11 thanks to a run that came in the second inning.
The sun messed with the Orioles' vision, and it resulted in a Joey Ortiz triple. Just a few pitches later, Gary Sanchez grounded out on a play that was able to score Ortiz.
Not a single player on either team had more than one hit in this game.
Ortiz was one of three Brewers to finish with a hit, and he was joined by catchers William Contreras and Gary Sanchez.
