Milwaukee Brewers News Roundup — September 27, 2026

The Brewers finished their regular season with a franchise-record 103 wins, defeating St. Louis 6-4 to secure the top seed in the National League playoffs. Jacob Misiorowski delivered a dominant final tune-up, pitching 5 1/3 scoreless innings while capping a historic season that saw him lead all of baseball in ERA at 1.80, strikeouts with 252, and WHIP at 0.80. The 24-year-old right-hander is widely expected to become the franchise's first unanimous Cy Young Award winner.

The Brewers will face the winner of the Padres-Cubs Wild Card Series in the NLDS beginning Tuesday in San Diego. The Padres earned home-field advantage after a strong September finish and will host the best-of-three series at Petco Park. The Cubs face additional obstacles heading into the matchup, having traveled extensively across the country within five days due to weather disruptions and posting a significantly better home record than road record this season.

Milwaukee's pitching staff enters the postseason with strategic advantages after the team carefully managed rest during the final stretch. While most projected relievers have accumulated heavy workloads, left-hander JoJo Romero, acquired from St. Louis at the trade deadline, represents a fresh arm after missing most of August and early September recovering from an appendectomy. Since making his Brewers debut on September 1, Romero has pitched effectively in recent outings, positioning him as a potential secret weapon for the October run.

The Brewers also have offensive momentum heading into the playoffs. Jackson Chourio went 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs in the final regular season game, while Gary Sánchez contributed a two-run homer. Chourio is one RBI and one stolen base away from joining an exclusive group of players with 20 home runs, 100 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases in a single season.
