The Milwaukee Brewers won their first World Series championship Wednesday, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 at Tropicana Field to take the series four games to one.
Starter Jacob Misiorowski held Tampa Bay scoreless for 5 2/3 innings, allowing two hits. Cooper Pratt drove in the opening run in the second inning, and David Hamilton’s RBI single made it 2-0 in the fifth. William Contreras doubled home Christian Yelich in the sixth before scoring on Pratt’s sacrifice fly for a 4-0 lead.
The Rays scored on Chandler Simpson’s two-out RBI double in the ninth, but closer Trevor Megill recorded the final out. Contreras was named World Series MVP after batting .381 with four RBIs in five games.
Milwaukee had moved within one victory of the title with a 10-1 win in Game 3, powered by an eight-run fifth inning and six strong innings from rookie Robert Gasser. Tampa Bay avoided a sweep in Game 4 when pinch hitter Ben Williamson delivered a bases-loaded single in the 12th inning for a 4-3 victory.
The Brewers opened the series with a 3-2 win in Milwaukee, surviving a ninth-inning rally after an apparent game-ending double play was overturned on review. Milwaukee, which won 103 regular-season games, completed its championship run 44 years after its only previous World Series appearance, a seven-game loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1982.
