On Thursday night in Philadelphia, the Milwaukee Brewers secured their first 100 wins of the season with a 5-1 victory over the Phillies, thanks to Jackson Chourio’s 25th home run. The win slowed down Philadelphia’s playoff push and highlighted Milwaukee’s dominance, as they aim to secure the top seed in the NL playoffs by surpassing last year's win record of 97. Despite Andrew Painter's strong performance for the Phillies, including eight strikeouts in six innings, the Brewers managed a decisive lead with key hits from Jake Bauers and others in the eighth inning.

Story summary

On Thursday night, the Milwaukee Brewers reached a historic milestone by winning their 100th game of the season with a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, marking the first time they have achieved this feat in franchise history. The win also slowed down Philadelphia’s push for securing one of the National League playoff spots, as the team needed a win to maintain hope of clinching their fifth consecutive playoff berth. Luis Arraez, who leads the NL in batting average, left the game early with an ankle injury, further complicating Philadelphia's prospects. Meanwhile, the Brewers are now aiming to secure the top seed in the playoffs and have the support of enthusiastic fans holding "100" signs as they celebrate their achievement.
