Brewers Lead 2-0 in World Series After 10-1 Rout of Rays in Game 3

Brewers take commanding series lead

The Milwaukee Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the best‑of‑seven 2026 World Series after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 in Game 3 on Monday night.

The victory moved the Brewers within one win of their first franchise World Series title.

In Game 1, Milwaukee held off a late rally to win 3-2.

Game 2 saw the Rays build a 4-0 first‑inning lead before the Brewers rallied to win 5-4, highlighted by Sal Frelick’s solo homer and Cooper Pratt’s go‑ahead single.

The Brewers now lead the series 2-0 and will seek a sweep in Game 4, scheduled for Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.

Rookie left‑hander Robert Gasser delivered a one‑hit performance, facing the minimum 18 batters through six innings, a feat not achieved by a left‑hander since Sandy Koufax in 1965.

Pat Murphy manages the Brewers, while Kevin Cash manages the Rays; both have limited success as former players.

The series remains open as a best‑of‑seven contest.
