Milwaukee, Wisconsin – The Milwaukee Brewers have clinched the best record in baseball for the 2025 MLB season, ensuring that they will have home-field advantage throughout the postseason. This achievement confirms their status as a top contender as they head into the playoffs, thanks to their strong performance throughout the season.
On September 24, the Brewers secured a crucial victory against the San Diego Padres, winning 3-1, which allowed their magic number to fall to one game. This meant that the Brewers could officially confirm the best record either with a win against their next opponent or as a result of the Philadelphia Phillies losing a game.
The Philadelphia Phillies, however, proved to be formidable opponents, initially defeating the Miami Marlins in two consecutive games with scores of 11-1 and 1-0. They went on to beat the Minnesota Twins 3-1, Boosting their win total substantially.
After a day off on Thursday, the Brewers faced a setback, losing to the Cincinnati Reds. Later in the week, the Twins turned the tide by defeating the Phillies 5-0 on Saturday night, which capped Philadelphia’s win total at 96 for the season. This was especially significant as the Brewers entered that game with a matching win total of 96, but they were able to claim the tiebreaker over the Phillies due to their superior performance this season.
As the Brewers move forward, they remain focused on setting a new franchise record for victories. They currently sit at 96 wins and are set to close out the regular season with their final game on Sunday. Achieving 97 wins would mark a historic completion to their season, reflecting their overall growth and performance.
The Brewers’ home record this season is impressive, standing at 51-27, which underscores the importance of maintaining home games during October’s postseason. This home-field advantage can often prove pivotal in a team’s playoff success.
An essential component of the Brewers’ success has been their right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester. Priester boasts an impressive season record of 13-2, and the team has won 19 consecutive games in which he has started, entering this weekend’s matchup. His contributions on the mound have been a significant factor in the Brewers’ overall performance, complementing the team’s efforts as they prepare for the postseason.
As the final days of the regular season approach, all eyes will be on the Brewers as they look to solidify their standing and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead in October. The combination of a strong home record, star performances from key players like Priester, and the goal of setting a franchise record will drive the team’s determination as they navigate the final game of the season.
The Brewers have not only demonstrated resilience but have also created excitement among fans in Milwaukee and beyond as they head into the postseason with high hopes and an aim for a deep run in October.
