The Milwaukee Brewers are one victory away from their first World Series championship, and the Tampa Bay Rays are running out of answers.
Milwaukee demolished Tampa Bay 10-1 in Game 3 on Monday night, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Brewers erupted for eight runs in the fifth inning, turning a competitive game into a blowout.
The most remarkable part? Milwaukee scored all eight of those runs with two outs.
Jackson Chourio collected four hits, William Contreras added three, and rookie pitcher Robert Gasser allowed just one hit through six innings. The Brewers have now won eight consecutive games, matching a postseason record.
Tampa Bay faces an almost impossible historical challenge. Only one team in 43 previous best-of-seven postseason series has rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win.
The Rays still have home-field advantage for Game 4, but they need a dramatically different performance. Another loss would end their championship hopes and hand Milwaukee its first title in franchise history.
Is this a historic Brewers team finally getting its moment, or can Tampa Bay pull off the comeback nobody expects?
Sound off: Are the Brewers sweeping the World Series, or do the Rays still have a chance?
