JUMP TO:
Milwaukee Brewers have waited 58 years to win a World Series. Tuesday night could be that night.
The Brewers continued their playoff dominance with their most impressive performance yet in Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays, putting them one win away from a World Series title.
Pat Murphy’s squad won last night 10-1, which was buoyed by an eight-run fifth inning on offense and six scoreless innings by starting pitcher Robert Gasser. The blowout allowed Milwaukee to save their bullpen, which means manager Pat Murphy can go all-out in Game 4.
Milwaukee’s offense has impressed despite hitting just one home run in the first three World Series games, showing the unit’s versatility. Jackson Chourio and William Contreras have led the way with a combined 15 hits in three games, which is almost as many base hits as the entire Rays team combined.

For the Rays to turn this series around, they will need to find a way to play better in all aspects of the game. Tampa Bay turns to Griffin Jax as their Game 4 starter, and he will need to have a better start after he allowed three runs in four innings against the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS.
On offense, the Rays need more help from their depth players. Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero have been ok, with nine combined hits, but the rest of the team has eight total hits as the Brewers’ pitching has shut them down.
Tampa Bay needs this game to keep the baseball season alive, while the Brewers don’t want to give the Rays life.
