Milwaukee Brewers set franchise record with 103 wins to clinch NL Central

Milwaukee Brewers MLB playoffs Jacob Misiorowski NL Central franchise record

The Milwaukee Brewers concluded their historic 2026 regular season with a 103-59 record, setting a new franchise win record after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-4. The victory secured the NL Central Division title and home-field advantage for the postseason.

Pitcher Jacob Misiorowski capped a dominant season with a five-and-one-third inning shutout, finishing with a major league-leading 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts. His performance joins the ranks of legends like Sandy Koufax, as he is one of only four pitchers since 1950 to lead MLB in ERA, strikeouts, and opponent batting average in a single season.

Offensively, Brice Turang recorded his 100th RBI of the season, becoming only the eighth player in Brewers history to achieve at least 100 runs and 100 RBIs in one year. The team also recently named Christian Yelich as the franchise's first-ever captain.

The Brewers will receive a first-round bye and are scheduled to host the winner of the NL Wild Card Series between the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres in the NL Division Series starting Saturday, October 3.
