Brewers Reach 100 Wins for First Time Ever as They Rally Late to Win 5-1, Take Series in Philadelphia
Jackson Chourio homered and Jake Bauers drove in the go-ahead run as Milwaukee became the first team this season to reach 100 wins.
On Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers reached 100 wins for the first time, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 at Citizens Bank Park as fans celebrated with "100" signs.
Having already clinched the National League Central title and secured a first-round postseason bye, the Brewers are battling the Los Angeles Dodgers for playoff positioning.
Jake Bauers hit a tiebreaking single off Alvarado in the eighth inning, while Cooper Pratt and Joey Ortiz added run-scoring singles before Chourio hit his 25th home run in the ninth.
The loss stalled the Phillies' push for their fifth straight playoff appearance, forcing Philadelphia to attempt clinching again on Friday against Tampa Bay.
All-Star Luzardo expects to return next week after recovering from left shoulder inflammation, while starter Andrew Painter's second-half rebound positions him as a postseason rotation option for Philadelphia.
