Misiorowski delivered a strong outing on the mound, while William Contreras provided the offensive spark that carried Milwaukee through.\n\nThe win extends what has already been a dominant postseason run for the Brewers, who finished the regular season 103-59, won the NL Central, and claimed the best record in baseball. They have kept that momentum going into October, entering the World Series with an 8-1 postseason mark through 9 games. Their pitching staff has been the backbone of that run, posting a 2.02 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Contreras has been just as steady at the plate, hitting .394 with 3 home runs and 6 RBI this postseason.\n\nTampa Bay will look to answer quickly in Game 2, set for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 8:00 PM EDT at American Family Field in Milwaukee. The Rays have shown resilience throughout the playoffs and will need another push to even the series before it shifts.","published_at":"2026-10-24T22:04:13.177251+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"How to Watch Rays vs. Brewers: TV Channel, Live
