FOX Sports Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Brewers announced Wednesday that the team’s 37 percent household ratings increase was the fifth-largest household ratings increase in all MLB, and the second-largest in the National League.

The National League Central champion Brewers delivered the fourth-largest household rating in all of MLB with a 5.48 household rating -- the highest since the 2014 season.

With first place in the division on the line, the Brewers final regular-season game notched a 12.8 household rating, the highest of the season and most-watched game since 2011.

The ratings success led Brewers games on FOX Sports Wisconsin to rank No. 1 in their market in primetime -- beating the primetime average of all other TV networks.

In the Milwaukee market, 8,685 households represent one rating point; therefore, over 47,000 households consistently tuned in to watch the Brewers this season, with over 111,000 tuned in for the regular season finale on Sept. 30.
