The Milwaukee Brewers set a franchise record last year by going 97-65. Not only did they finish with the best record in baseball, but they also had more wins than any other team in the history of the organization.Now, a year later, they are even better.With their 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday night, Milwaukee improved to 98-58 on the season. Obviously, this breaks their franchise record from last season, and also marks the first time in franchise history that they are 40 games over .500.Oh, and Jackson Chourio made history, too.Milwaukee Brewers star Jackson Chourio has made MLB historySep 20, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio (11) prepares to bat during the first inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: James A. Pittman-Imagn Images Heading into the game, Chourio had 24 home runs and 19 stolen bases on the season. He swiped two bags in the 3-0 victory, giving him his third consecutive 20-20 season to start his Major League career.This milestone is notable for two reasons. First, he joins Julio Rodriguez and Bobby Witt Jr. as the only three players in baseball history to start their careers with three straight 20-20 seasons.But what is even more impressive is that Chourio, who is still just 22 years old, is the first player in history to have three consecutive 20-20 seasons before the age of 23:Jackson Chourio swipes his 20th bag of the season He is the first player with 3 seasons of 20+ stolen bases and 20+ home runs before turning 23 years old! pic.twitter.com/3PwbpjxM3a— MLB (@MLB) September 21, 2026What makes the achievement all the more impressive this year is the fact that Chourio missed the first month of the season with a fracture in his left hand. Had he been healthy in March/April, he likely would have accomplished this milestone weeks ago, and perhaps would have a 30-30 season by now.For the 2026 season, the Brewers’ star left-fielder is hitting .285/.344/.481 with 24 home runs, 70 RBI, and 21 stolen bases.Oh, and he leads all MLB left fielders in defensive runs saved, making him a serious candidate for a Gold Glove award.More Milwaukee Brewers news from Wisconsin Sports HeroicsBrandon Woodruff’s Brewers return gets major update ahead of postseasonBrewers make franchise history with first ever NL Central 4-peatBrewers change pitching plans ahead of series finale vs PiratesFor More Great Wisconsin Sports ContentFollow me on Twitter at @theotherRobin19 and follow us @WiSportsHeroics for more great content.
