6 sources →

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the 2026 World Series on Friday night. The victory, the Brewers' first World Series win since 1982, was nearly delayed when a game-ending double play was overturned upon video review in the ninth inning. Replay showed Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt was slightly off second base while catching a throw from Brice Turang, allowing a run to score and extending the game. Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill subsequently struck out Jonny DeLuca with two runners in scoring position to secure the win.
