Brewers withstand Rays' comeback attempt to win 3-2 in Game 1 of World Series
Christian Yelich sparked Milwaukee’s offense, and Trevor Megill escaped a bases-loaded ninth as the Brewers took a 1-0 series lead.
- On Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the World Series at American Family Field, capitalizing on base-running errors to secure the victory.
- Rays base runners Victor Mesa Jr. and Jonathan Aranda were caught stealing in consecutive innings, as Brewers catcher William Contreras executed perfect throws to neutralize Tampa Bay's aggressive approach on the basepaths.

- Now 8-1 in the playoffs, the Brewers hold a series lead while the Rays prepare for Game 2 with ace Drew Rasmussen primed to counter Milwaukee's momentum and keep the series competitive.
