Brice Turang's go-ahead two-run homer in the 5th completed a comeback from an early 2-0 deficit as Milwaukee closed in on a 102-win season entering the finale.

With the division, bye and No. 1 seed already clinched, Milwaukee used its final games to set October rotation order. Dustin May started against his former club, St. Louis, to solidify his spot as the postseason No. 3 starter, while Jacob Misiorowski made his final regular-season start with a chance to further lower his MLB-leading 1.62 ERA.

Manager Pat Murphy confirmed the rookie left-hander, who posted a 1.55 ERA in relief, will make Milwaukee's 12-pitcher NLDS staff, squeezing out Kyle Harrison's roster bid.

A Fan Appreciation Night during the season's final homestand drew an enthusiastic crowd celebrating the franchise's first 100-win season.

Milwaukee's 100th win of the season came after the club had already clinched the NL Central and the No. 1 overall playoff seed. Manager Pat Murphy rested several regulars, including Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio, to reach the milestone.

Wilson was activated off the 15-day IL after posting a 2.55 ERA in 24.2 innings before an Aug. 31 back-strain injury. Andrew Vaughn's illness-related IL stint is expected to be brief enough for him to return before the Oct. 3 postseason opener; Brandon Lockridge was recalled from Nashville to cover his roster spot.

Milwaukee's Double-A affiliate lost the deciding game after forcing it with a 7-0 win in Game 2. Blake Burke was named Southern League MVP after a franchise-record 30 home runs, and Andrew Fischer hit 48 home runs across the minor-league season, a minor-league record.

Milwaukee beat Philadelphia to push its win total to a franchise record, with manager Pat Murphy resting Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio and using William Contreras as DH as the club manages bodies for the NLDS after locking up the top NL seed and a first-round bye.

Milwaukee officially clinched a first-round bye after Cincinnati beat Atlanta, the second straight year the Brewers have avoided the Wild Card Series. The NLDS is set to open at American Family Field on October 3.

Milwaukee optioned Colton Gordon to Triple-A Nashville and selected Lyon Richardson's contract, part of a deliberate effort by manager Pat Murphy to rest projected postseason relievers now that the bye is locked up.

Milwaukee, which has clinched the NL Central with baseball's best record, dropped a competitive game to wild-card rival Philadelphia. Zack Wheeler struck out 11, reaching 2,000 career strikeouts; Brandon Marsh hit a 2-run homer and a go-ahead RBI double for Philadelphia. David Hamilton stole his 30th base of the season for Milwaukee.

Manager Pat Murphy spoke on the record about right-hander Jacob Misiorowski (MLB-leading 1.86 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 186 strikeouts, 15-5), calling him 'a beautiful kid' and praising his growth as a teammate heading into a legitimate NL Cy Young case.

William Contreras homered and Jacob Misiorowski, working a planned abbreviated outing, moved into MLB's ERA and strikeout lead; it was Milwaukee's first back-to-back shutouts since 2023.

Both right-handers are on rehab assignments at Nashville; Brandon Woodruff's return from a shoulder capsule injury remains a low possibility this season.

Burke is regarded as the Brewers' most likely non-rehab September call-up after his power surge at Double-A.
