The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the 2026 World Series on Friday night. The victory marked Milwaukee’s first World Series win since 1982. Jacob Misiorowski earned the win after pitching five innings, while Trevor Megill secured the save by striking out Jonny DeLuca in a high-tension ninth inning. The game featured a controversial final play where an initial double play was overturned by video review, revealing that shortstop Cooper Pratt had his foot off the bag.
