Brewers vs Rays: Game-by-Game Results
It helps to see the whole story in one place, so here’s every result so far.
- Game 1 (23 October): Brewers 3, Rays 2 — Milwaukee opened the series with a tight win at home.
- Game 2 (24 October): Brewers 5, Rays 4 — Another close game, another Brewers win.
- Game 3 (26 October): Brewers 10, Rays 1 — A total blowout. Milwaukee scored in almost every inning.
- Game 4 (27 October): Rays 4, Brewers 3 (12 innings) — Tampa Bay came back late and won it with a walk-off hit from Ben Williamson.
Robert Gasser’s Game 3 start was special too. He became only the second pitcher in World Series history to finish six innings while facing the minimum number of batters. The only other player to do that was Don Larsen, during his famous perfect game back in 1956.
Have the Brewers Won the World Series?
Not yet. This is a common search, so let’s be clear about it: the Brewers are leading 3-1, but a team needs four wins to become champion. Milwaukee has three. They are close, but the job isn’t done.
If the Brewers win Game 5, the series is over and they become World Series champions for the first time in franchise history. If the Rays win instead, the series moves back to Milwaukee for Game 6.
When Is the Next Game?
Game 5 takes place tonight, 28 October 2026, at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay. First pitch is at 8 p.m. ET, and it’s being shown on Fox in the United States. If the Brewers win, the celebrations start straight away. If not, the series heads back to American Family Field in Milwaukee for Game 6 on 30 October.
How Did the Brewers Get to the World Series?
This has not been a lucky streak for the Brewers. They had the best record in baseball this season, going 103-59 and winning the most games in franchise history. They also won their division for the fourth year in a row and secured a playoff spot before anyone else.
They then swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the play-offs to win the National League pennant, giving them their first World Series appearance since 1982. It has been 44 years since Brewers fans have seen their team in the World Series. This is only the second time they have made it to the World Series.
However, the Rays have made it to their third World Series after beating the Cleveland Guardians. Neither team have ever won a championship so no matter what happens in this series, history will be made.
