Brewers first team to reach 80 wins in MLB for second year

Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers have become the first team to achieve 80 wins in Major League Baseball this season, securing their milestone with a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Milwaukee, currently leading the National League Central Division with a 74-49 record, has reached this feat for the second consecutive year, having done so almost a year earlier on August 21, 2025. Jacob Misiorowski earned the win by pitching six scoreless innings, while Chris Sale took the loss for Atlanta. The Brewers are looking to build on this momentum as they prepare for a series against the New York Mets and a crucial divisional road trip against the Chicago Cubs later this month.
