Brewers win 100 games for first time in franchise history, topping last season's previous high of 97 victories
Milwaukee has won 90 or more games for four consecutive seasons and in five of the past six years.
The Milwaukee Brewers have achieved a milestone in franchise history by winning 100 games in a season for the first time. This victory, achieved on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, surpasses the previous franchise record of 97 wins set during the previous season. The Brewers have now won 90 or more games in five out of the past six seasons.
Prior to this season, Milwaukee had only posted 96 wins in the 2018 and 2011 campaigns. This accomplishment places the Brewers ahead of several other MLB teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, Washington Nationals, Miami Marlins, and Colorado Rockies. Despite reaching this milestone, the Brewers have not maintained a winning streak of more than five games this season, having experienced three separate five-game winning streaks but never six consecutive wins.
Even if Milwaukee secures its remaining three regular-season games against the St. Louis Cardinals, this winning streak will persist. The Brewers had a 12-13 record in April and a 16-14 record going into May, but their performance improved significantly after the All-Star break, with a 41-22 record, representing a .650 winning percentage.
