Brewers Clinch NL Central Lead Sweeping Angels with Yelich’s 100th RBI

Christian Yelich has made a remarkable comeback with the Milwaukee Brewers following back surgery, achieving his first 100-RBI season since his MVP year in 2018. After undergoing a discectomy last August and recovering from a rough start in 2025, Yelich has become a key offensive leader, tied for third in National League RBIs, and instrumental in the Brewers' success as they approach an NL Central division title. In a recent 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels, Yelich drove in his 100th run, contributing to a three-run seventh-inning rally that secured a sweep of the Angels and brought the Brewers closer to clinching their division. Brewers manager Pat Murphy noted Yelich's potential for even better stats, highlighting how many high-speed balls he hits that are caught. Rookie Caleb Durbin described Yelich as the backbone of the team, underscoring his leadership and impact on the clubhouse. With the Brewers holding the best record in baseball and a magic number of four for the division title, Yelich's resurgence is central to their pursuit of postseason success.
