103 Wins and a First Title: Every Number to Know About the Brewers’ Championship Run
A dominant regular season
Milwaukee led the majors with 103 regular-season wins, then carried that success into the postseason. The Brewers went 11-2 on the way to their first title. Seven of those postseason wins came after the team had fallen behind. That total was one below the record of eight.
Comeback mark near record
The record for postseason comeback wins is shared by the 1997 Florida Marlins, 2002 Anaheim Angels and 2015 Kansas City Royals. Each team had seven comeback victories, according to the reported comparison, while the Brewers’ total was described as one shy of the record. The article’s figures are internally inconsistent: it says Milwaukee had seven comeback wins, but also places the record at eight and says the Brewers were one short.
Four teams still waiting
With Milwaukee winning its first title, four MLB franchises remain without a World Series crown: the Rays, the Colorado Rockies, the San Diego Padres and the Seattle Mariners. The Brewers’ championship therefore changed the list of franchises still seeking their first World Series title.
