Milwaukee — The Milwaukee Brewers have made history by clinching their seventh postseason bid in eight seasons on September 13, becoming the first team in Major League Baseball to secure a playoff berth for the 2025 season. This achievement was solidified following a loss by the New York Mets on the same evening. The Brewers dramatically rallied from a five-run deficit against the St. Louis Cardinals, managing to tie the game in the ninth inning before securing victory in the 10th inning with a walk-off single from Andruw Monasterio after an intense 10-pitch at-bat.
The team celebrated this milestone with a modest champagne toast, opting for a quieter acknowledgment rather than a loud celebration. Players expressed varying feelings about the token gesture, with Jackson Chourio, 21, mentioning a personal aversion to champagne due to discomfort it causes him. The crew looks towards larger celebrations for potential future playoff successes as the season continues.
As of now, the Brewers boast an impressive record of 90 wins and 58 losses, the best in all of baseball, and are currently positioned with a six-game lead in the National League Central. However, the team is not resting on its laurels; they are on a quest to win seven of their remaining 14 games to set a franchise record for total wins in a season.
Throughout the 2025 season, the Brewers have averaged the second-most runs scored per game while allowing the fourth-fewest runs, a clear indication of their solid performance on both offense and defense. Despite previous postseason appearances since their last playoff series victory in 2018, the team is determined to excel and advance further this year.
In their recent game, the Brewers faced various defensive struggles and errors, yet demonstrated remarkable resilience. Pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, despite his challenges that day which included allowing seven hits and only securing four strikeouts, displayed perseverance. The team’s magic number to secure the division was reduced to eight following a loss by the Chicago Cubs, reflecting their ongoing effort to clinch the top spot.
Manager Pat Murphy expressed pride in the team’s performance, especially considering they exceeded expectations set by analysts at the beginning of the season. The team overcame a rocky start that saw them at 21-25, ultimately turning the tide to become a playoff contender. Leader Christian Yelich noted the importance of recognizing their achievement in reaching the playoffs while also acknowledging the larger goal of advancing further into the postseason.
As the playoffs loom nearer, the Brewers are focusing on maintaining their competitive momentum and preparing for the challenges up ahead. The recent victory over the Cardinals has provided a boost, demonstrating their tenacity and ability to bounce back from adversity, which will be crucial as they aim for a successful postseason and an end to their lengthy playoff series win drought.
