Overview
- The Brewers beat the Rays 10-1 in Game 3 on Monday, Oct. 26, to take a 3-0 lead in the 2026 World Series and move within one win of the franchise’s first championship.
- Milwaukee broke the game open with an eight-run fifth inning in which seven straight batters recorded hits with two outs, a sequence identified by Opta and the Elias Sports Bureau as a postseason and World Series first.
- Rookie left-hander Robert Gasser retired the minimum through six innings, allowed one hit and preserved a large lead that let Milwaukee protect its top bullpen arms for later games.
- Former Brewer Freddy Peralta, starting for Tampa Bay, was charged with five earned runs on seven hits, and reliever Cam Booser allowed four hits without recording an out as the Rays managed only three hits overall.
- Milwaukee’s win extends a dominant October run and leaves Tampa Bay needing four straight victories to win the Series, with Game 4 scheduled Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.
