Brewers rout the Rays 10-1 to move within a win of their first World Series title
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 to take a 3-0 lead in the World Series. Led by strong performances from Jackson Chourio and rookie pitcher Robert Gasser, the team is now one win away from their first championship title.
Why it matters
The Brewers are on the verge of a historic franchise milestone, having tied the record for consecutive postseason wins.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jackson Chourio set the tone at the plate, Brice Turang sparked an historic offensive outburst and Robert Gasser shut the door on the mound.
The Milwaukee Brewers are one victory from their first World Series title after routing the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 on Monday night thanks to a trio of young players who have shined in October.
Chourio bookended Milwaukee's eight-run fifth inning with two of his four hits, and Turang's two-run single opened a barrage of scoring with two outs.
"He was tremendous. Locked in. Gives us a big lift," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said about Chourio, who has eight hits in three Series games.
