Milwaukee Takes 1-0 Lead After Replay Overturn in Ninth Inning

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Thursday night in Game 1 of the World Series at American Family Field, securing a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-seven series. The victory marked the franchise's first-ever World Series win and unfolded before a sellout home crowd following a tense ninth-inning escape.

Milwaukee established an early lead in the first inning against Tampa Bay's starting pitcher. Team captain Christian Yelich hit a run-scoring triple, bringing home Jackson Chourio, and subsequently scored to put the Brewers ahead. William Contreras added another RBI single later in the frame to extend the margin to 2-0. The Brewers padded their lead in the seventh inning when Chourio singled home an insurance run, making it 3-1.

On the mound, hard-throwing starter Jacob Misiorowski delivered five strong innings for Milwaukee, allowing one run and four hits while striking out batters to earn the win. The Brewers' bullpen maintained the narrow lead into the final frame.

The game reached a dramatic climax in the top of the ninth when Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill encountered trouble. Megill surrendered consecutive singles to Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson. Following a double steal by pinch-runner Jorge Mateo and Simpson, and a subsequent walk to Junior Caminero that loaded the bases, the tension peaked.

Tampa Bay's Liam Hicks hit a ground ball that appeared to trigger a game-ending 4-6-3 double play. As the Brewers began celebrating on the field, a video review revealed that shortstop Cooper Pratt’s right foot had come off second base before he secured the throw from second baseman Brice Turang. The ruling was overturned to a fielder's choice, allowing Mateo to score and cutting Milwaukee's lead to 3-2 while placing runners on second and third.

With the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position, Megill regrouped to strike out Jonny DeLuca, securing the final out and preserving the victory.

Game 2 of the series is scheduled for Friday, October 24, 2026, in Milwaukee.

October 24, 2026 is actually a Saturday (Current Date context: October 24, 2026 is Friday, so October 24 is Friday? Let's check: Current Date is Friday, October 24, 2026. Therefore, October 24 is indeed a Friday, but search sources list Game 2 as Saturday, October 24? Wait, search source [5] says "Saturday, October 24, 2026" although today is Friday October 24.
