Milwaukee Brewers stand one win from franchise history after 10-1 win over Tampa Bay

The Milwaukee Brewers hold a three-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2026 World Series after winning the third installment of the matchup 10-1 on Monday night.

The score marks the largest margin of victory in the series to date. Robert Gasser started the game, anchoring a defense that allowed only one run. The offense capitalized on the early deficit, outscoring the Rays by a wide margin to secure the win. The result extends the Brewers' perfect record in the championship round.

Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, at 8 p.m. Eastern. The Rays host the Brewers in an elimination game. A win for Milwaukee would secure the franchise's first World Series title. The series is set on Fox, Fox Deportes, and fubo.

Neither team has captured a championship in franchise history. The Brewers last appeared in the World Series in 1982. The Rays have made three trips to the final, including a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008. Their most recent appearance was in 2020. Because neither club has won a ring, a first-time champion will emerge regardless of the final result.

The path to this series saw the Brewers sweep the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. Milwaukee won four straight games against the Dodgers to claim the National League pennant. In the American League, the Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians in six games. Junior Caminero hit a home run in the decisive Game 6, securing the American League pennant for Tampa Bay.

The playoff bracket concluded with these two teams advancing to the World Series. The White Sox, Yankees, and Astros were eliminated in the earlier rounds. The Guardians and Dodgers fell in the division and championship stages, respectively. The schedule for the remaining games is set. If the series goes to five or more games, the next contests are scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31.
