Overview
- In a 10-1 victory on Monday, the Brewers broke the game open with an eight-run fifth inning in which seven consecutive two-out hits produced a World Series record for two-out runs in a single inning.
- Left-hander Robert Gasser dominated by facing the minimum through six innings and allowing one hit, giving Milwaukee length and keeping the Rays off balance.
- Freddy Peralta, pitching for Tampa Bay against his former team, was charged with five earned runs and exited before the fifth inning ended as the Rays' bullpen and offense largely failed to respond.
- Game 4 is set for Tuesday night with the Brewers expected to give the ball to Dustin May and the Rays slated to start Griffin Jax as Tampa Bay must win four straight to avoid elimination.
- Milwaukee's 3-0 lead caps a run of postseason dominance for a 103-win club and puts the small-market franchise on the brink of its first championship while no World Series team has ever rallied from a 0-3 deficit.
