Wikipedia (2026 World Series)Two one-run games in Milwaukee, then a nine-run margin in St. Petersburg.
Wikipedia (2026 World Series)The game turned in the fifth inning. Milwaukee loaded the bases and knocked Rays pitcher Freddy Peralta out of the game. Against reliever Cam Booser, Brice Turang hit a two-run single, Garrett Mitchell an RBI single, Cooper Pratt a two-run double and Sal Frelick an RBI double. All eight runs in the inning came with two outs, after the Brewers won a replay challenge.
Wikipedia (2026 World Series)Seven hits in a row: no team had done that in a postseason game before, per the series record.
The record notes two marks. The Brewers became the first team with seven consecutive hits in a postseason game. Jackson Chourio, 22, went 4-for-5 and became the youngest player with four hits in a World Series game since Joe Garagiola in 1946. Robert Gasser pitched six scoreless innings and allowed one hit; the Rays scored their only run in the ninth, off Brandon Woodruff.
Wikipedia (2026 World Series)The first two games, in Milwaukee, were decided by one run each: 3–2 on Oct. 23 and 5–4 on Oct. 24. Neither franchise has won a World Series. One more Milwaukee win would give the Brewers their first title; by this issue's arithmetic, the Rays need four straight wins.
