Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 04:20 · Archive
Milwaukee leads Tampa Bay 3-0 in the World Series after a 10-1 victory at Tropicana Field.
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated Tampa Bay 10-1 on Monday to take a 3-0 lead in the World Series, one win away from the franchise's first championship. The Brewers made history by becoming the first team to score eight runs with two outs in a single World Series inning. Milwaukee batters recorded a post-season-record seven consecutive two-out hits against Rays starting pitcher Freddy Peralta and relievers Cam Booser and Cole Sulser.
Brice Turang, Garrett Mitchell and Cooper Pratt combined to drive in five runs in a three-pitch span to open a 7-0 lead. Jackson Chourio had four hits in the game. The Brewers had three doubles and four singles in the inning. The previous record of seven runs with two outs was set by Boston in 2007 and matched by San Francisco in 2010, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Historically, teams trailing 0-3 in a best-of-seven World Series are heavily favoured to lose. Of 25 teams to fall 0-3 down in a World Series, 21 were swept and four extended the series to a fifth game before losing. The only team to recover from a 0-3 deficit in a post-season series was the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series.
