The Brewers are one win away from tying a franchise mark and two away from setting a new one, and they’ve put themselves in position to do it after opening the series against Baltimore with a 6-5 victory on Friday.
Milwaukee is 96-58 and sitting right on the doorstep of the record it set last season with 97 wins. A victory Saturday would match that total. If the Brewers keep rolling through Sunday, they’d reach 98 and establish a new high-water mark for the franchise.
On Saturday, Milwaukee is expected to hand the ball to Logan Gasser. He’s settled in nicely this season, posting a 4.30 ERA across 19 appearances, 18 of them starts.
Lately, though, he’s been even sharper. Over his last four outings, Gasser has put up a 2.33 ERA with a 20-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 19 1/3 innings.
That stretch has mattered for a Brewers staff that has been searching for more steady production with Kyle Harrison struggling and Dustin May going up and down. Gasser has answered the call when Milwaukee has needed him most.
His standout outing came Aug. 26, when May started but left after one pitch. Gasser came on and handled the rest, throwing 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball while striking out six. Now he gets a chance to keep Milwaukee on pace for history.
If the Brewers win Saturday, Sunday night brings the next shot at the record, with Jacob Misiorowski lined up to start. He was on the mound when Milwaukee clinched the National League Central, and he’d be the one tasked with delivering the 98th win if the Brewers get there.
Misiorowski has put together what could be the best season ever by a Brewers starter. He leads the league with a 1.89 ERA, and his Sunday outing could also be his final start of the 2026 regular season. For Milwaukee, and for Misiorowski, the finish line is suddenly within reach.

Christian Yelich Keeps Giving Brewers Fans Another Reason To Love Him
Christian Yelich keeps finding ways to matter to the Brewers beyond what he does in the batters box. This week, he was named Milwaukees nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award for the second time in four seasons, a recognition that goes to players whose work in the community reflects the legacy of Clemente and his lifelong commitment to service.
Yelichs resume off the field has only deepened his standing with fans in Milwaukee, where he has backed military veterans, youth baseball and programs focused on childrens health and education. For a player already central to the Brewers identity, it is another reminder that his influence around the organization stretches well beyond the lineup card. [Read more 🡒]
Pat Murphy Sends A Clear Message With Brewers Lineup Choice
The Brewers are back in action this afternoon for the second game of their series against the Orioles, and Pat Murphys lineup gives a pretty clear read on where his priorities are in the middle of a long season. With left-hander Robert Gasser on the mound for Milwaukee and Trevor Rogers set to start for Baltimore, the Brewers are leaning into a different look than the one fans might expect, with several regulars getting the day off.
It is the kind of move that can say plenty without anyone needing to explain it, especially with first pitch set for 3:05 p.m. and the game available on Brewers.TV, WTMJ 620 and the Brewers Radio Network. For a club trying to balance the grind of the schedule with the demands of staying fresh, Murphys lineup choice suggests there is a bigger picture in mind, even if the immediate question is how the Brewers will piece together this one.

Christian Yelich Is At The Center Of A Huge Brewers Debate
Christian Yelich has been at the heart of the Brewers rise for nearly a decade now, ever since Milwaukee landed him from Miami in a four-player trade on Jan. 25, 2018. The move changed the shape of the franchise almost immediately. Yelich became one of the teams defining players, won the National League MVP award in 2018, and helped lead Milwaukee to the playoffs eight times in nine seasons, giving the Brewers a steady centerpiece through a long stretch of contention.
Even with all that production, the conversation around Yelich is no longer just about what he has done in the past. Injuries have interrupted parts of his run, and that has made his place in the Brewers present and future a more complicated debate than it once seemed. For a team that has leaned on him so heavily, the question is how much more he can still provide, and how Milwaukee chooses to weigh the star power, the durability concerns and everything he has already meant to the organization.
