Brewers hold off Rays 3-2 after ninth-inning replay drama in World Series Game 1

Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night. Yelich tripled, and scored on a run in the first inning. In the ninth, Tampa Bay's Liam Hicks grounded into an apparent game-ending double play, but a video review overturned it because Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt's right foot was slightly off the bag when he caught a high throw from Brice Turang. Trevor Megill then struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners on second and third to escape the jam, and the Brewers held on. The Japan Times noted that it was Milwaukee's first World Series appearance since 1982.
