Milwaukee Brewers Didn't Need Home Runs to Power Historic Offensive Explosion

By racking up 26 runs without any homers against the Minnesota Twins over the last two games, the Milwaukee Brewers earned themselves a spot in the history books.

If the Minnesota Twins' pitching staff came into this weekend looking to prevent the Milwaukee Brewers' offense from hitting home runs, then they have accomplished that mission so far.

Unfortunately, the Brewers have found other ways to thrive.

Milwaukee ran away with a 17-6 win on Friday, racking up 19 hits and six walks. Jackson Chourio's pair of doubles were the Brewers' only extra-base hits of the contest, though, so it was death by a thousand cuts for the Twins.

On Saturday, four of Milwaukee's nine hits went for extra bases, but still none cleared the fence for a home run. The Brewers drew another five walks and notched three sacrifice flies, clinching the series with their 9-0 victory.

According to MLB.com's Sarah Langs, the Brewers' 26 runs over the last two games are good for the third-most in a two-game span without a home run over the last 80 seasons. The 1952 Washington Senators own the record with 28 runs, while the 2010 Houston Astros are second on the list with 27 runs.

Most runs in a 2-game span without a homer, last 80 seasons:

1952 Senators: 28
2010 Astros: 27
2025 Brewers: 26 (last 2g)

Milwaukee ranks No. 11 in total runs across MLB this season, all while ranking No. 25 in homers, so their recent stretch isn't exactly out of character.

The Brewers will try to sweep the Twins in their series finale Sunday, which could help them break a three-way tie for the third NL Wild Card spot. First pitch was scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET.
