Baseball: Brewers Hold 10-1 Victory to Take 3-0 Series Lead

The Milwaukee Brewers can claim their first World Series title as early as Tuesday night. They defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 on Monday in Game 3, extending their series lead to three games to none. A decisive offensive performance and a dominant start by pitcher Robert Gasser set up a potential clinch at home.

The series is now decided by the outcome of Game 4, scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday. The Rays play at Milwaukee for this game, which will air on Fox, Fox Deportes, and fubo. If the Brewers win, they will become the first champion in franchise history. If they lose, the series moves to Game 5 on Wednesday in Tampa Bay.

Neither team has ever won a World Series. The Rays last appeared in the finals in 2020, when they lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Before that, they reached the championship round in 2008 and fell to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Brewers have not been in a World Series since 1982, when they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Tampa Bay secured the American League pennant by beating the Cleveland Guardians in Game 6 of the ALCS on Monday. Junior Caminero hit a home run in that game. The Guardians had won the first three games of the ALCS before the Rays won the final three to advance.

The Brewers earned the National League pennant by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. They won all four games of that series, which concluded on Thursday. In the earlier divisional round, Milwaukee defeated the San Diego Padres in five games.

The Rays have won four of the five games they have played in the 2026 postseason since the Wild Card round. They beat the New York Yankees in a two-game sweep to advance from the Wild Card stage. They then defeated the Yankees again in the divisional round, winning three games to none.

The full schedule for the remaining World Series games is set. Game 5 will take place on Wednesday in Tampa Bay. Game 6 is scheduled for Friday in Milwaukee. Game 7, if necessary, will be played on Saturday in Milwaukee. All games are set for 8 p.m. Eastern time.

The Brewers won Game 1 on Friday by a score of 3-2 and Game 2 on Saturday by a score of 5-4. Both games went to extra innings. The Rays have been outscored 18-6 in the first three games of this series. The next game is Tuesday at American Family Field.
