MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers want to celebrate their golden anniversary by accomplishing something they've never done before.
The Brewers are seeking an unprecedented third straight playoff berth during this unusual 60-game season after reachng the National League championship series in 2018 and losing in the wild-card game last year.
The Brewers launched their franchise in 1970. Their only previous back-to-back playoff appearances before the last two years came in 1981-82.
They'll try to get back to the postseason following an offseason overhaul that included the losses of catcher Yasmani Grandal and third baseman Mike Moustakas in free agency.
