The Milwaukee Brewers secured their inaugural World Series title on Wednesday, October 28, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5, ending a 44-year championship drought. Rookie Cooper Pratt contributed two runs, while Jacob Misiorowski pitched 5 ⅔ scoreless innings. Catcher William Contreras added a key RBI double. The victory marked Milwaukee's dominant postseason, leading the league with 103 regular-season wins and finishing with an 11-2 playoff record.
Brewers captain Christian Yelich expressed joy at bringing the championship home to his fans. Pitcher Misiorowski, emotional after the final out, praised his teammates and the Milwaukee city. Contreras was named World Series Most Valuable Player for his offensive contributions, while shortstop Cooper Pratt set a World Series record by recording six consecutive hits.
Manager Pat Murphy emphasized the team's collective effort. Milwaukee, entering the series without a World Series title, faced a historic matchup with Tampa Bay, also titleless. The Brewers swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series before overcoming Tampa Bay's late challenge.
