The Brewers Won 100 Games For The 1st Time (And These 5 Teams Still Never Have)

Key Points:

• The Milwaukee Brewers achieved a franchise-first 100-win season with a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, breaking their previous records of 98 and 99 wins set just days earlier.
• The Brewers' success is driven by outstanding pitching, led by ace Jacob Misiorowski who tops MLB in several categories, and strong offensive contributions from players like Brice Turang and Jake Bauers.
• Milwaukee's 2026 team boasts the best run differential in MLB and has the most wins against teams with winning records, highlighting their legitimacy as one of the league's top contenders.
• Before the Brewers, six MLB teams had never reached 100 wins; the article reviews the best seasons of these franchises, such as the Washington Nationals' 2012 record 98 wins and the Texas Rangers' 2011 peak of 95 wins.
• Other franchises like the San Diego Padres, Miami Marlins, and Toronto Blue Jays have had notable seasons with fewer than 100 wins but have achieved success including World Series titles, emphasizing that 100 wins is not the sole measure of greatness.
