Rays survive in World Series with wild walk-off comeback vs Brewers
Ben Williamson’s walk-off single capped a 12th-inning rally as Tampa Bay became the fifth team to erase a 3-0 World Series deficit in Game 4.
- On Wednesday, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen will start Game 5 of the World Series on three days' rest, tasked with staving off elimination against the Milwaukee Brewers.
- The Rays trail by 3 games to 1 in the best-of-seven series after staying alive with a 4 to 3 victory Tuesday, deploying 7 pitchers to keep their season alive.
- Rasmussen, a two-time All-Star, went 16-5 with a 2.67 ERA in the regular season and previously threw 89 pitches over 3 2/3 innings in Game 2 last Saturday.
- The Brewers will send hard-throwing right-hander Jacob Misiorowski to the mound, seeking to clinch their first World Series title in franchise history after wasting a 12th-inning lead Tuesday.
- If the Rays win Wednesday, Games 6 and 7 will be played in Milwaukee. Rasmussen was acquired from the Brewers in 2021 for infielder Willy Adames.
