The Milwaukee Brewers held off a late Tampa Bay Rays rally to win 3-2 in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, taking a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Christian Yelich hit an RBI triple during a two-run first inning against Rays starter Nick Martinez, putting Milwaukee ahead for good. The Brewers added a run in the seventh on Jackson Chourio’s RBI single. William Contreras also had an RBI single among his two hits and threw out two runners attempting to steal.
Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run and four hits over five innings to earn the victory. Tampa Bay entered the ninth trailing 3-1 but loaded the bases against closer Trevor Megill after consecutive singles, a double steal and a walk.
Liam Hicks then grounded into what was initially ruled a game-ending double play. A replay review found that Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt’s foot had come off second base while receiving the throw, overturning the out there. One run scored, leaving runners at second and third with Milwaukee’s lead reduced to 3-2.
Megill recovered to strike out Jonny DeLuca and end the game. The victory came in Milwaukee’s first World Series appearance since 1982. Both the Brewers and Rays are seeking their first championship.
