Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 01:07 · Archive

Freddy Peralta, who spent eight seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, will start Game 3 of the World Series for the Tampa Bay Rays against his former team.

Freddy Peralta spent his first eight major-league seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, trying to help them reach a World Series that continually eluded them. He was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays at the deadline. Now both he and the Brewers have finally reached the Fall Classic—on opposite sides. The Brewers lead the series 2-0.

Peralta will be Tampa Bay's starting pitcher in Game 3 on Monday in St. Petersburg, Florida. He described the situation as 'a little weird', noting that Milwaukee crowds have shown him affection despite his new uniform. 'When I went to the bullpen last night, they were telling me, "We still love you." It's amazing,' he said.

Peralta's season transformed after joining Tampa Bay. He went 5-9 with a 4.99 ERA for the New York Mets before the trade deadline. He was subsequently voted the AL Championship Series MVP. Tampa Bay has won each of his last nine starts, and he has posted a major league-leading 0.90 ERA during that stretch, allowing just two runs over 16 2/3 innings this postseason.
