Brewers' stars lead the way in World Series-opening win over Rays
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in the opening game of the World Series. The victory was a collective effort, with the team maintaining composure during a tense ninth-inning finish.
Why it matters
This marks a significant sporting event for the city of Milwaukee, which has not hosted a World Series game since 1982.
MILWAUKEE — All day Friday, the city of Milwaukee was buzzing in anticipation of a long-awaited World Series appearance. Messages on city buses wished the Brewers good luck, the faces of four leverage relievers hung above the public market downtown and people everywhere wore team-branded gear.
Outside American Family Field, the tailgate started early. Once the ballpark’s gates opened, a sellout crowd of 43,250 filtered in, with many rushing to stand in long lines for World Series merchandise. Soon enough, the pre-game festivities began and franchise icons Robin Yount, Bud Selig and Ryan Braun helped welcome fans to the first World Series game this city’s hosted since 1982.
