World Series Stage Is Set as Rays Advance to Face Brewers

Two low-payroll clubs will meet for a first World Series title, and the winner will become baseball’s first first-time champion since 1980.

  • On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, securing their third pennant in 29 seasons as a major league franchise.
  • After trailing the series 2-1 early, the Rays rallied to win three consecutive games against the Guardians, demonstrating resilience after Game 4 was postponed due to rain.
  • Yandy Díaz and Junior Caminero each hit two-run homers, while Freddy Peralta pitched 5 1/3 innings before a sellout crowd of 40,230 fans at Tropicana Field.
  • Starting Friday in Milwaukee, the Rays will face the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series after the Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
  • Neither franchise has captured a World Series title, guaranteeing a first-time champion in 2026; the Rays hold two previous appearances while the Brewers have one.
