The Tampa Bay Rays kept their season alive Tuesday night with a 4–3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in 12 innings. Milwaukee briefly went ahead in the top of the 12th, but Tampa Bay rallied in the bottom half and won on Ben Williamson’s single. The result cut the Brewers’ World Series lead to three games to one.
Game 5 is Wednesday, October 28, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern on FOX. Milwaukee remains one victory away from the franchise’s first World Series title; Tampa Bay needs three consecutive wins to claim its own first title. Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski is expected to start, while Tampa Bay’s pitcher was not confirmed in the early AP report.
The Braves are out after losing their NLDS to the Dodgers, so there is no Atlanta game to attend. Tonight is nevertheless worthwhile baseball viewing because the Rays’ extra-inning escape changed the series from a possible sweep into a genuine Game 5.
Tune to FOX at 8 p.m. ET for Game 5; Milwaukee leads 3–1.
