Brewers Set World Series Records in 10–1 Win

The Milwaukee Brewers moved within one win of their first World Series championship Monday, October 26, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 10–1 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. An eight-run fifth inning gave Milwaukee a 3–0 series lead.

Milwaukee set two records in that inning:

• Seven consecutive hits: A first in any MLB postseason game, according to OptaSTATS, as reported by MLB.
• Eight runs with two outs: The most in a World Series inning, per MLB’s record breakdown.

The “two outs” distinction matters. Tampa Bay needed just one more out to end the inning each time another Milwaukee hitter came to the plate during the scoring run. The Brewers kept extending that opportunity until a close game had become a comfortable Milwaukee advantage.

Replay kept the fifth inning alive i

The rally survived a replay review that changed an apparent forceout at second base to safe, loading the bases. Brice Turang’s two-run single started the scoring. Garrett Mitchell added an RBI single, Cooper Pratt drove in two with a double, and Sal Frelick, David Hamilton and Jackson Chourio followed with run-scoring hits.

Brew Crew Ball’s game report details how the sequence carried Milwaukee from a two-run advantage to a 10–0 lead without a home run.

Chourio finished 4 for 5 with a double. Turang and William Contreras each collected three hits as the Brewers totaled 16. The Yahoo Sports Game 3 coverage tracks Milwaukee’s decisive win.

Gasser gave the Rays little room to respond i

Robert Gasser allowed one hit over six scoreless innings and faced the minimum 18 batters. A caught stealing and a double play helped erase Tampa Bay’s baserunners. According to The Associated Press, he was the first World Series starter to face the minimum through six innings since Curt Schilling in 2001, and the first left-hander since Sandy Koufax in 1965.

Monday’s margin contrasted with Milwaukee’s first two victories. The Brewers won the opener 3–2, then overcame a four-run deficit to win Game 2, 5–4. A different kind of game produced the same result in Florida.

Another Brewers record already fell in Game 1 i

Jacob Misiorowski had opened the series with a 103.5 mph fastball to Yandy Díaz, breaking the World Series velocity record. AP’s report on Misiorowski also credited him with 38 pitches at 100 mph or faster, another Series record. Milwaukee’s run has now produced historic moments on both sides of the ball.

Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, at 7 p.m. Central on FOX, FOX One and FOX Deportes, per MLB’s schedule.
