With Brewers holding ace, Jacob Misiorowski must put Rays out of misery

The Milwaukee Brewers entered the decisive Game 4 of the World Series with a 3-1 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. However, they needed extra-inning pitching to hold onto their lead and avoid a potential five-game series. The Brewers relied heavily on their relievers, including first-time closer Trevor Megill, who only got one out. Their workloads were comparable to the Rays', with notable performances from starters like Nick Martinez and Bryan Baker, who both appeared in multiple games.

With the series still up for grabs, the Brewers relied on ace Jacob Misiorowski, who had shown flashes of brilliance but struggled to finish games in this postseason. Misiorowski's experience and expertise were crucial for the Brewers to overcome the Rays in Game 5 and secure their first championship in franchise history.
