The Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays return for Game 3 of the World Series, with first pitch at 8 p.m. ET Monday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Rays find themselves in an 0-2 hole as they return home after a disastrous Game 2 loss. In that one, Tampa Bay took a four-run lead in the top of the first, but didn’t score again, and the Brewers chipped away. Sal Frelick tied the game with a leadoff homer in the sixth, and Cooper Pratt drove in Brice Turang with the go-ahead run in the seventh for a 5-4 victory.

In Game 3, the Brewers will rely on left-hander Robert Gasser (5-5, 3.87 ERA). He recently pitched five scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLCS, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 3 in a 6-2 victory.
The Rays will counter with right-hander Freddy Peralta (10-11, 4.42 ERA), who was named ALCS MVP after allowing just one earned run on 9 hits with 9 strikeouts in 12 innings in three appearances, including two starts, against the Cleveland Guardians.

Call canceled. The Brewers will have the bases loaded with two outs and Brice Turang batting. That will do it for Freddy Peralta, who comes out after 87 pitches in 4 2/3 innings.
It will be Cam Booser who will try to keep this game winnable for the Rays.

With runners on first and second and two outs, Junior Caminero throws a spinning pitch to second to end the inning. The Brewers are contesting the call, and replay certainly makes it look like they’re going to win.

Rays third baseman Junior Caminero shows off his vertical with a leap to steal a hit from David Hamilton.

Robert Gasser hasn’t allowed a hit since Yandy Díaz’s single early in the game. He is at 44 pitches and has always faced the minimum.

Sal Frelick flies out to Chandler Simpson, less theatrically this time, to end a 1-2-3 inning for Freddy Peralta. He’s at 64 pitches in four and we’ll see how far he goes with the Brewers’ top order expected to be for the third time next inning.

Another quick inning for Robert Gasser, who faced the minimum in three innings (helped by a strikeout in the first). He’s only 35 pitches into his first stint through the order.

Brice Turang retires to end the round. Tampa Bay now has work to do.

William Conteras hits a single to right and Rays outfielder Victor Mesa Jr. bounces the ball enough for Bauers to score. Contreras gets thrown out trying to sneak into second, but it’s now a multi-run lead for Milwaukee.

Jake Bauers draws a walk to put Chourio in scoring position, then Christian Yelich hits him. The Brewers are doing their job again.

Jackson Chourio, 22, is now 6 for 11 in the 2026 World Series after a one-out single in the top of the third.
