Brewers Take 3-0 Lead, Rays Face Elimination Tuesday

The 2026 World Series has reached a decisive point with the Milwaukee Brewers holding a 3-0 series lead.

The Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 in Game 3 on Monday night, October 26. Robert Gasser delivered a strong performance on the mound while the Brewers' offense overwhelmed the Rays. This victory puts Milwaukee one win away from the first championship in franchise history.

Tampa Bay can still win the series, but they must win the next four games. Game 4 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, at 8 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on Fox, Fox Deportes, and fubo.

The Brewers earned their spot in the World Series by sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. They won the final game 6-4 on Thursday, October 15, to close the series 4-0. This is the first time the Brewers have reached the World Series since 1982.
