Milwaukee enters Tuesday with a 3-0 series lead after an eight-run fifth inning propelled them to a 10-1 win on Monday night.
The Milwaukee Brewers are one victory away from the first championship in franchise history following a 10-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3. During Monday night's contest, Milwaukee secured the win behind an eight-run fifth inning. The Brewers now lead the 2026 World Series 3-0 heading into Game 4 at Tropicana Field on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
Dustin May takes the mound for Milwaukee against Tampa Bay starter Griffin Jax. The Brewers enter the matchup with a bullpen operating on at least two days of rest, allowing manager Pat Murphy to utilize a relief-heavy strategy. David Hamilton, batting ninth and playing third base, hit a home run to help Milwaukee maintain their postseason momentum.
For the Rays to avoid a sweep, they must overcome a deficit that no team in MLB history has ever successfully overturned. Tampa Bay has adjusted their lineup for Game 4, returning Jonathan Aranda to first base and Liam Hicks to the catcher position after both players sat out the previous game due to platoon matchups. The Rays finished the regular season with 98 wins before entering this series.
