History

Historical Context

Interleague play began in 1997, and the Brewers switched to the National League in 1998, creating new cross-league matchups. After decades of alternating division pairings, the 2023 schedule made every team face all others annually. In 2026 the Brewers swept the Yankees 3-0, a reversal of the 1997-era disparity and underscored the impact of the 2023 league-wide schedule.
