Story summary

The Milwaukee Brewers won Game 1 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays on October 24, 2026, with a final score of 3-2. The game was played at home for the Brewers in Milwaukee. In the ninth inning, Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners on second and third to secure the victory. Despite the Rays' comeback attempt, key plays such as baserunning mistakes by Victor Mesa Jr. and Jonathan Aranda being caught stealing hindered their chances. This marks a historic World Series matchup between two teams known for operating under tight budgets but achieving significant success through strategic gameplay rather than high spending on star players.
