The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday at Tropicana Field, according to Bleacher Report. The win gave Milwaukee a 3-0 series lead and put the club one victory from its first World Series title. Game 4 is set for Tuesday night in St. Petersburg.
Bleacher Report said Milwaukee's offense erupted for eight runs in a fifth inning that turned after replay review. A play that first looked like a fielder's choice for the third out was overturned, loading the bases. The Brewers then strung together two-out hits as the inning grew into a rout.
Robert Gasser threw six scoreless innings, per Bleacher Report, after allowing only one run across his first two postseason starts. Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5, a line also shown in the game box score. Milwaukee's bullpen closed out the win after the big inning. The Rays scored only once at home as the series hole deepened to three games.
A 3-0 World Series lead leaves Tampa Bay needing to win four straight. Bleacher Report cast the fifth-inning rally as the night's hinge and said Milwaukee could chase a sweep in Game 4 with a fresher bullpen.
