Summary
Milwaukee capped a franchise-record 103-win season by beating Tampa Bay in five games for the Brewers' first World Series championship.
An 11-2 postseason run underscored the title: the Brewers swept the Dodgers in the NLCS after dispatching the Padres, finishing 26-5 dating to September.
Milwaukee's edge was broad rather than one-dimensional — it led MLB in batting average and on-base percentage while ranking second in team ERA and strikeout rate.
The breakthrough followed decades of near-misses, including the club's lone 1982 pennant and NLCS losses in 2011, 2018 and 2025.
Under owner Mark Attanasio, executive Matt Arnold and manager Pat Murphy, the small-market Brewers paired disciplined spending with a young core that suggests the title window may stay open.
