The Milwaukee Brewers are one of the best teams in Major League Baseball this season, as they've gotten a lot out of their offense and pitching staff that can't compare cost-wise to some of the top teams in baseball.
One of their best players this season has been reliever Aaron Ashby. The veteran lefty has been incredibly impressive, posting a 2.17 ERA in 21 games so far in 2026.
But, as OptaSTATS shared on Twitter/x, there's some wild MLB history that Ashby just set that only makes his production this year look all the more impressive.
"After Friday night, the Brewers' Aaron Ashby now has 8 wins this year - all in relief. No one else in MLB has more than 6 wins," OptaSTATS shared. "It's the first time in the modern era a pitcher had at least 2 more relief wins than any other MLB pitcher had total wins at the end of any given day."
While this statistic doesn't encompass all of MLB history, with the modern era beginning in 1900, Ashby's eight-win record is still one not seen in at least 126 years.
Aaron Ashby set a notable MLB record, although the specific details of the record were not disclosed in the excerpt.

Despite starting just one game, Ashby has recorded eight wins for the Brewers this season, all of which have come out of the bullpen.
His most recent outing was a two-inning outing where he allowed just one run in a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins to get him to his eighth win of the year.
No other pitcher in MLB this season has seven wins, meaning that Ashby's eight wins are two more than any pitcher in MLB in 2026 through May 15th, which is made all the more impressive since he's a reliever.
He has eight wins, a 1.000 winning percentage, and 44 strikeouts across 29 innings of work. He's never reached more than five wins in a season before, and he now has eight in the middle of May.
Securing wins as a reliever is a lot more challenging than as a starter. And somehow, Ashby has two more wins than any other pitcher in MLB this season, with eight through May 15th.
This is some ridiculously impressive history to make for Ashby. Even looking at his eight wins at this point in the season is impressive enough, but with this context from OptaSTATs, Ashby's start to the year is made even more impressive.
