- Milwaukee Brewers routed the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 in Game 3, fueled by an eight-run fifth inning, putting them one win from their first World Series title in franchise history
- Tampa Bay Rays face elimination in Game 4 at Tropicana Field, where they must overcome a 3-0 series deficit — a feat never accomplished in World Series history
- Pat Murphy plans to strategically deploy Milwaukee’s rested bullpen in Game 4, with all key relievers available after two days of rest following the Game 3 blowout
- Griffin Jax starts for the Rays in Game 4, tasked with generating swings and misses to slow down a Brewers lineup that has hit with consistent purpose throughout the series
- Jeff Passan notes the Rays must return to their identity — clean, focused, fun baseball — and treat each at-bat as if their season depends on it, because it does
Why it matters: The Brewers are on the verge of a historic breakthrough, with all momentum and matchup advantages in their favor. For the Rays, failing to force Game 5 would mark the latest in a series of missed opportunities to close out a championship run despite a 98-win regular season and dominant AL playoff performance.
