Brewers’ wild clinch party was a memorable celebration as the Milwaukee Brewers secured their second consecutive NL Central title and third in four years on Wednesday night, thanks to a dramatic walk-off single by Jake Bauers against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Chaos erupted in the locker room shortly after the victory.
In a lighthearted gesture, the team prepared a baby stroller filled with non-alcoholic beer and champagne for rookie Jackson Chourio, who is just 20 years old and experiencing his first taste of postseason excitement.
This thrilling walk-off win not only secured a series victory over Philadelphia, the current No. 1 seed in the National League, but also solidified the Brewers’ position as the No. 3 seed with a record of 88-64. They trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by two games for the No. 2 seed.
Chourio has emerged as a standout player this season, contributing significantly with 21 home runs, 77 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases, while maintaining a .273/.328/.475 slash line. His impressive 121 OPS+ and a combined 12 Defensive Runs Saved highlight his all-around value.
Alongside Chourio, shortstop Willy Adames, who has hit 32 home runs and driven in 109 RBIs, and catcher William Contreras, with 22 home runs and a .469 slugging percentage, have been crucial to the Brewers’ offensive success, especially following the season-ending injury to All-Star outfielder Christian Yelich in July.
Looking ahead, the Brewers are set to face the Arizona Diamondbacks in a four-game series at home, starting with Game 1 on Thursday night at 7:15 p.m. ET, broadcasted on FOX and the FOX Sports app.
