Brewers lead Rays 3-0 in 2026 World Series after Game 3 blowout
AI-generated summary
Neither the Milwaukee Brewers nor the Tampa Bay Rays have ever won a World Series title. The Brewers last appeared in the World Series in 1982, while the Rays last appeared in 2020.
An offensive rout and a dominant start from Robert Gasser have the Milwaukee Brewers one win away from the first World Series title in franchise history. The Brewers blew out the Rays in Game 3 on Monday night and can now clinch as early as Tuesday night.
The Rays secured the American League pennant by beating the Cleveland Guardians in ALCS Game 6 behind a massive home run by Junior Caminero. This marks their first World Series appearance since 2020, and only their third in franchise history (they lost to the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008). The Brewers, meanwhile, swept the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the National League pennant and make their first World Series since 1982.
Neither franchise has ever won a title, meaning we'll get a first-time champion regardless of the outcome.
