Even without reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich, the Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the playoffs.

After Yelich got injured, the team responded by going 12-1 and punching their ticket.

Now THAT’S how you respond to adversity.

With their win tonight the @Brewers clinch a playoff berth.

The Brewers are making the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for just the second time in franchise history.

The last time the team went to consecutive postseasons was 1981-82, when the franchise was in the AL. pic.twitter.com/djr7gVQPvq

It’s going to be a fun October! Milwaukee can still win the NL Central and avoid the Wild Card play-in game, so it'll be exciting to watch what happens down the stretch!

The Milwaukee Brewers have won 17 of 19 games to clinch a postseason berth -- most of it without Christian Yelich. Another incredible September run for the Brewers. The Cubs and Phillies are officially out and the five NL playoff teams are set: Dodgers, Braves, Cards, Nats, Crew.
