Brewers rout the Rays 10-1 to move within a win of their first World Series title

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang ignited Milwaukee's eight-run fifth inning, propelling the Brewers to a 10-1 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. This victory brought the Brewers within one win of their first World Series title. The game marked a pivotal moment as rookie left-hander Robert Gasser delivered one-hit pitching, allowing only a line-drive single to Yandy Díaz in the bottom of the first.

Gasser faced the minimum 18 batters through six innings, becoming the first left-hander to achieve this feat since Sandy Koufax in 1965. After Gasser's stellar performance, the Brewers' offense exploded, with Chourio going 4 for 5 and William Contreras contributing 3 for 5. The team amassed 16 hits off "Fastball Freddy" Peralta and five relievers to secure their eighth consecutive postseason win and fourth in a row on the road, moving them closer to the ultimate prize.
