Story summary

On October 29, 2026, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays to win the franchise's first World Series title, ending a 57-year wait. The Brewers clinched the series with a 4-1 victory in Game 5 at Tropicana Field in Tampa. Key players included rookie Cooper Pratt, who drove in two runs, and Jacob Misiorowski, who pitched five scoreless innings before leaving due to a right calf cramp. Christian Yelich and Brandon Woodruff were the only players from the 2018 Brewers team that reached the World Series still playing for the club. Celebrations continued into October 30 with a parade in Milwaukee and a visit by the team to Green Bay for a Packers game, where outfielder Sal Frelick participated in the Lambeau Leap.
