Brewers win first World Series title in franchise history with 4-1 win over Rays

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Tuesday at Tropicana Field to claim their first championship in Major League Baseball history. The victory capped a World Series win for the Wisconsin-based team, ending a long wait for a title in the franchise's history.

Jacob Misiorowski led the pitching staff for Milwaukee. The right-handed starter retired batters for 5.2 scoreless innings while allowing only one hit. He recorded two strikeouts and threw pitches reaching 101.3 mph. Misiorowski took the win but left the game in the sixth inning to rest a left leg issue.

Abner Uribe, J.C. Romero, and Trevor Megill completed the relief workload. The bullpen held the Rays scoreless in the final frames, stopping a late offensive push in the bottom of the ninth inning.

The Brewers built their lead early in the game. Cooper Pratt drove in the first run with a single in the second inning. David Hamilton extended the gap with an RBI single in the fifth. William Contreras added to the advantage with an RBI double in the sixth.

Pratt, a rookie infielder, also recorded a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning. His seven runs batted in during the World Series matched the record set by Gil McDougald in 1951. That mark stands for the most runs produced by a first-year player in a championship series.

Jackson Chourio finished the series with 11 hits. The Venezuelan infielder contributed to the offensive effort throughout the post-season. The Brewers' victory marks the first time the organization has won the World Series since entering Major League play.
