Overview
- Milwaukee beat Tampa Bay 10-1 in Game 3 at Tropicana Field to take a 3-0 lead in the 2026 World Series and need one more win for the franchise's first championship.
- Rookie lefty Robert Gasser allowed one hit and faced the minimum through six innings in what sources describe as a dominant start, and that performance set the tone for the Brewers' win on Oct. 26.
- The Brewers broke the game open with an eight-run fifth inning that included a postseason-record run of consecutive two-out hits and turned a 2-0 game into a rout.
- Former Brewer Freddy Peralta, the Rays' starter, was charged with five earned runs as Milwaukee's pressure-packed approach forced Tampa Bay to make pitchers changes that opened the floodgates.
- Milwaukee's deep bullpen closed out Game 3 after Gasser exited, leaving the Brewers fresher for Game 4 and extending a postseason win streak that follows a 103-win regular season and an NLCS sweep.
