Rays put on the brink of World Series flop by Brewers' historic 8-run, 2-out surge

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 on Monday night at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, taking a 3-0 lead in the World Series and moving within one victory of their first title. The game featured a historic, record-setting eighth-run, two-out surge by the Brewers in the fifth inning, fueled by Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang. This marked the first time a team has scored eight runs with two outs in a World Series inning.

Rookie left-hander Robert Gasser contributed to the victory by pitching one-hit ball for Milwaukee. The contest represented Tampa Bay's first World Series game at Tropicana Field in 18 years, but it ultimately put the Rays on the brink of a series defeat following the historic offensive surge and pitching performance by the Brewers.
