Brewers become first club to clinch MLB playoff berth
The Milwaukee Brewers became the first team to clinch a berth in the Major League Baseball playoffs on Saturday, and they did it before even walking onto the field.
The Brewers, who own MLB's best record at 90-58, secured no worse than a wildcard post-season spot when the New York Mets lost 3-2 to the visiting Texas Rangers on Saturday.
Wyatt Langford's ninth-inning single to centerfield drove in Dustin Harris with the deciding run for Texas, dropping the Mets to 76-73 and ensuring they will finish behind Milwaukee this season.
The Brewers, who lead the National League Central division by six games over the Chicago Cubs ahead of a Saturday contest in St. Louis, are looking at bigger prizes, however.
Milwaukee hopes to grab a division title and first-round playoff bye depending on how well they finish over the final 16 days of the regular season.
Other NL clubs in playoff positions include fellow division leaders the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies, the Cubs, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants while the Mets and Cincinnati are within a game of a wildcard spot.
In the American League, Toronto has the best record at 86-62. Detroit, Boston and the New York Yankees are in the hunt for playoff spots as are Houston and Seattle, both 80-68, in the AL West.
