Overview
- On Wednesday the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in 12 innings at Tropicana Field to avoid a series sweep and force a fifth game.
- Milwaukee took the lead in the top of the 12th when Cooper Pratt hit a go‑ahead solo homer, but a throwing error by Brewers third baseman Joey Ortiz in the bottom half opened the door for the Rays’ rally.
- Jonny DeLuca tied the game with a run‑scoring single and Ben Williamson delivered the walk‑off RBI single to complete the comeback in the 12th inning.
- The result leaves Milwaukee up 3-1 in the best‑of‑seven series so the Brewers need one win for their first World Series title while the Rays must win three straight—a feat no team has done after falling behind 0-3 in World Series history.
- The game drew strong international interest, with broadcasts and streams available in Mexico and Mexican‑born or heritage players such as Jonathan Aranda and Joey Ortiz central to the storyline as the series shifts toward Wednesday’s Game 5 and a possible return to Milwaukee for Games 6 and 7.
