The Milwaukee Brewers are on the verge of their first World Series championship after a dominant 10-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 on Monday. With the win, Milwaukee has taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
A Decisive Fifth Inning
The contest remained tight until the bottom of the fifth inning, when the Brewers’ offense erupted for eight runs to break the game open. The offensive surge provided more than enough support for starting pitcher Robert Gasser, who delivered a stellar performance by shutting out the Rays over six innings of work.
The loss leaves the Rays facing elimination as they attempt to stave off a series sweep. The Brewers now need just one more victory to secure the title, while Tampa Bay must win four consecutive games to mount a historic comeback.
The two teams are scheduled to continue the series as the Brewers look to close out the championship.
