A 4-3 walk-off win in 12 innings at Tropicana Field, capped by Ben Williamson's single, kept their season alive and pushed the World Series to a Game 5 on Wednesday, with Milwaukee still ahead 3-1.\n\nBrewers manager Pat Murphy told his team the loss would sting, and it has. Derek Jeter backed him up, saying Tampa Bay will sleep easy after the comeback while Milwaukee has to shake off the sting fast. Jeter's point: nobody in Brewers camp would have complained about being up three games to one back in spring training, so one brutal extra-innings loss shouldn't change the mood heading into the finale.\n\nGame 5 brings a mound matchup that favors Milwaukee on paper. Jacob Misiorowski, who started Game 1, gets the ball for the Brewers on full rest. Tampa Bay counters with Drew Rasmussen working on short rest, just three days removed from throwing 89 pitches in Game 2. The first three games of the series had already been tense and occasionally strange, but Game 4's extra-inning finish cranked things up further. Milwaukee can close it out tonight; Tampa Bay just needs to keep finding ways to survive.","published_at":"2026-10-28T22:35:19.308693+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"World Series Game 5 Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (3-1) @ Tampa Bay Rays (1-3)","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/world-series-game-5-discussion-221348664.html"},{"outlet":"Defector","publisher":"Defector","title":"There Might Be Some Life In This World Series Yet","url":"https://defector.com/there-might-be-some-life-in-this-world-series-yet"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Derek Jeter Warns Brewers That World Series Game 4 Loss Can't 'Deflate' Them","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/derek-jeter-warns-brewers-world-series-game-4-loss-cant-deflate-them"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"World Series Game 4 Thread","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/world-series-game-4-thread-230000891.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/291554c6a2dcda911649da8a49c187ec4a29795bb853d9610e737011aa5983d5/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fsb_nation_articles_115%2Fdcf04c3f1813b0174b688b7aa5ad1718.jpg","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
