Playoff Implications Take Center Stage

The MLB-best Milwaukee Brewers (89-56) faced off against the playoff-chasing Texas Rangers in a crucial series, with Milwaukee positioned to potentially become the first team to officially clinch a playoff spot this season.

Rangers’ Push for Postseason

The Rangers, sitting just 3½ games behind idle Houston in the AL West race, are making a strong push with 17 games remaining in the season. This marks their closest position to the division lead since May 30.

Texas has shown impressive form lately, winning 12 of their past 16 games. Their success has been notably consistent in victories, scoring at least four runs in each win during this stretch.

Looking Ahead

The series continues with a compelling pitching matchup featuring Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta (16-5, 2.50) facing off against Texas’ Merrill Kelly (11-7, 3.16).
