CBS 58

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy made Major League Baseball history Tuesday night, winning the National League Manager of the Year Award for the third consecutive season.

Murphy became the first manager in either league to win the award three years in a row. The honor is voted on by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Murphy was selected over fellow finalists Walt Weiss of the Atlanta Braves and Don Mattingly of the Philadelphia Phillies.

The award is based solely on regular-season performance, with ballots submitted before the postseason begins.

Murphy led Milwaukee to a franchise-record 103-59 regular-season record in 2026, the best record in Major League Baseball. The Brewers went on to capture the first World Series championship in franchise history.

Milwaukee has won at least 93 games in each of Murphy's three seasons as manager, finishing 93-69 in 2024, 97-65 in 2025 and 103-59 this season.

Murphy became the first manager in Brewers history to win Manager of the Year in 2024 before repeating in 2025. Before Murphy, no manager had won the award more than two consecutive years.

The World Series champions could add more individual hardware this week.

Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski is a finalist for the National League Cy Young Award, which will be announced Wednesday, Nov. 11.
