The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 3-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays to capture the opening matchup of the World Series, according to reports from Fox Sports and Fox News. The victory gives Milwaukee an immediate 1-0 lead in the series, with both outlets highlighting early offensive contributions from Christian Yelich and William Contreras, who each recorded a hit and an RBI.
Fox Sports reported that Yelich started the scoring with an RBI triple in the first inning before Contreras plated him for an early two-run cushion. After Tampa Bay loaded the bases in the ninth inning, Milwaukee pitcher Trevor Megill ended the threat by striking out Jonny DeLuca, according to Fox Sports.
