FINAL/12: Rays 4, Brewers 3
Tampa Bay’s season looked like it was over after Cooper Pratt’s 12th-inning home run. Then the Rays fought back and walked off the Brewers with four straight hits. That was a damn good baseball game -- and a great win. The World Series continues.
Game 4 of the World Series is tied again. A Joey Ortiz throwing error and Liam Hicks single put runners on first and third, and Jonny DeLuca mashed a single up the middle to score a run. There are no outs and runners on first and second. The Rays are in position to walk it off.
Rookie Cooper Pratt with the biggest swing of the 2026 season.
The Milwaukee Brewers are three outs from a World Series title.
Aaron Ashby this postseason:
Innings pitched: 18
Hits: 5
Walks: 3
Strikeouts: 20
ERA: 0.00
He's done tonight after 2.1 innings. Didn't allow a baserunner. Struck out three.
Ashby is having one of the best Octobers ever for a pitcher. Still hasn't allowed a run all month.
Game 4 of the World Series is headed to extra innings tied at 2.
Either the Milwaukee Brewers will win their first World Series in more than half a century of existence, or the Tampa Bay Rays will walk them off and send the series to Game 5 tomorrow.
FINAL: Brewers 10, Rays 1
A complete emasculation. Brewers batters swatted seven consecutive hits and scored eight runs with two outs in the fifth. Brewers pitchers shut down Tampa Bay hitters all night. Milwaukee is up 3-0 and can clinch its first World Series title on Tuesday.
Robert Gasser has faced the minimum through six innings. A first-inning hit erased on a caught stealing. A sixth-inning walk erased on a double play. He has thrown only 74 pitches. He's carving the Rays and will give the Brewers' bullpen much-needed rest. Masterful performance.

From @ESPNInsights: Jackson Chourio, 22, is the youngest player with four hits in a World Series game since Joe Garagiola in 1946. Garagiola was 20.
The Brewers entered this inning up, 2-0. They are now ahead, 10-0. They had seven straight hits and scored all eight runs with two outs. And to think, the Rays thought they were out of the inning with no runs until a replay overturn. This was the Brewers' piece de resistance.
Jackson Chourio is 3 for 3 with three singles tonight. He is hitting .583 in the World Series. Big-time player doing big-time things.
The Trop looks awesome. The place is packed. An incredible job considering the state of the stadium in the aftermath of the hurricane.
But, man, there are a lot of Brewers fans here.

Junior Caminero's fiery words in the Rays' dugout during Game 2 of the World Series wasn't the first time he's spoken up in October.
“He’s always let his play talk, but we’re seeing him use his words a little bit more often."

The Milwaukee Brewers have played in 10 postseason games. They have trailed in nine of them. They have won eight of those. They laugh at deficits. And now they are two wins from being World Series champions. Free at ESPN: The indefatigable Brewers. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5027…
FINAL: Brewers 5, Rays 4
Milwaukee trailed 4-0 in the first inning. And then the Brewers did what they do, chipping away, stealing bases, fouling balls off and, ultimately, parlaying a Sal Frelick homer and six scoreless innings from their bullpen into a 2-0 World Series lead.
Sal Frelick hit four home runs in 407 plate appearances this year entering today.
His fifth just tied Game 2 of the World Series.
