Brewers Clinch First 100-Win Season And NL Top Seed Ahead Of Final Series

The Milwaukee Brewers begin their final regular-season homestand Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals after reaching 100 wins for the first time in franchise history and clinching the National League’s No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. Milwaukee enters at 100-59 and leads the season series 8-2; St. Louis is 77-82 after Thursday’s 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh, a result that guaranteed the Cardinals’ second consecutive losing season. Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser, coming off seven scoreless innings, is set to start the opener against Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy, who is 7-9 with a 3.84 ERA. The three-game series runs Friday through Sunday at American Family Field as Milwaukee shifts its attention to postseason preparation.
Milwaukee’s 100-win season came without a winning streak longer than five games, making it the first team in MLB history to reach 100 wins without a longer streak.
Robert Gasser had allowed just five runs (four earned) over 21 innings in four September starts; after his last outing, he said, “Just trying to stack good days.”
Michael McGreevy has covered 164 innings and struck out 113 batters this season, and is described as St. Louis’s most dependable starter with Kyle Leahy’s season over.
The final homestand includes Peanuts Night on Friday and Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday, with giveaways including a 2027 Brewers magnet schedule and a voucher for two tickets to a 2027 weekday home game.
